The little unread book
A senior at Dartmouth was visited by two Homeland Security agents in October to assess his threat potential to the United States. The reason? He had requested a copy of Mao's Little Red Book via an interlibrary transfer for a class that he was taking on Communishm. He and his parents were told that the book is on a "watch list", whatever that means.
