Naison was briefly investigated by the FBI . According to his memoir , the FBI bugged his house electronically and tried to question his neighbors , who , however , refused to say anything about him . After three days , the FBI was satisfied that he was no longer in the Weatherman and they left him alone . Naison lost one of his dearest friends , Ted Gold , during the accidental explosion of a Greenwich Village townhouse by an amateur SDS bomb-making group . Kathy Boudin , in the house at the time , had been one of his favorite contacts in the New York Collective , and she survived the blast . In his grief over the loss of Gold , Naison wrote a poem , published in '' Radical America '' , as a tribute to his fallen friend . " I remember Ted Gold best ... " He is dead ... Of a bomb meant for better targets ... " Asked about his arrest during the Columbia incident , Naison replied , " Getting arrested to protest Columbia 's attempt to build a gym in a Harlem Park was something I was proud of at the time — and am still proud of now . " Naison claims that his only regret in life has been not leaving Weatherman when they started talking about getting rid of monogamy
