Goerge's goons are comin' to town.

This student was hounded by the feds for reading a book by Mao. Pretty soon students who read Darwin will be assaulted.

1. Back in 1977, I was in the USAF and
during a barracks inspection a copy of Mao's LRB was found in the room. Since we were a Cold War remote site, it caused a big stink with the base commander. Until I was allowed to explain that I'd purchased the damn thing at the Base PX!!! Asshats!

2. What is it about that book?
It is really very tame. I read it in high school. Because our History teacher made us read it.
