...something. . . . How do you suppose all this happened? This is the way it happened: The young brain-trusters caught the Socialists in swimming and they ran away with their clothes. Now, it is all right with me, if they want to disguise themselves as Karl Marx or Lenin or any of the rest of that bunch, but I won't stand for their allowing them to march under the banner of Jefferson or Jackson or Cleveland...
...Soviet Hero John Reed, onetime wife of U. S. Ambassador to U. S. S. R., William Christian Bullitt; of cerebral hemorrhage; in Sevres, France. Pretty, sharp-witted, she married Reed in 1917, followed him from Greenwich Village to Moscow, became a champion of the Bolsheviki, a close friend of Lenin. When Reed died of typhus in 1920, she wrote for Hearst, wangled the first interview from Mussolini. In 1923 she married Socialite Bullitt, bore his daughter Anne in 1924, was divorced by him in 1930 for "personal indignities." Thereafter, in constant financial difficulties, she made her home in Paris...

Finally she went to Russia, rode on a propaganda train with Kalinin, talked to Lenin, listened to Trotsky. Going home that time, second class, was an anticlimax: "Hungry gluttonous people fell upon the good food wolfishly. The ship swiftly split up into the goods and the bads. The bads had a good time and the goods talked about them...
...Russia the Soviet secret service has had a long and fascinating history, increasing in respectability with the years. Members of the dread Tsarist Okhrana were remarkably successful in insinuating themselves into the Cheka of Lenin which conducted the original so-called "Red Terror." So odious did the Cheka become that it was finally supposed to have been purged of its baser elements and was renamed the Ogpu. Under the late great Felix Dzerzhinsky, an extremely able and somewhat sadistic Pole, the Ogpu became internationally odious but in Russia it saved the Bolshevik Dictatorship from being overthrown by popular and democratic...
