This seeming apathy prompted his apparent decision not to join in Harvard's Socialist Club, a serious organization created for the discussion of both the theory and practice that would put control of popular institutions under the control of the people most needing their benefits. With Lippmann, who had already gained a reputation for his precise analytical thinking and staid political viewpoint, the Socialist Club...
...activities of the Socialist Club led to any increased awareness on Reed's part of injustices in the world outside Harvard, it is doubtful that the thought germinated in his mind until, well after graduation, he mingled with the radical Bohemians of Greenwich Village.

More fled from China to Afghanistan in the 1940s when the Communists came to power in China. The mid 1970s finds 25,000 Kirghiz in Afghanistan and more than three times as many in China. An Islamic group speaking a language related to Turkish, the Kirghiz are by tradition herders...
...TASS accused the President of "new acts of blackmail" and of "a deliberate striving to hurl the world back to the dark times of the cold war." Said the official Soviet news agency: "Washington's rulers are in a hurry to whip up a campaign of hatred against socialist countries, to undermine the foundations of Soviet-American relations, and to curtail them to a minimum...
