Playboy-turned-socialist John Reed returns to New York after taking part in the Russian Revolution, which he would memorialize in his Ten Days That Shook the World.
“In the relations of a weak Government and a rebellious people there comes a time when every act of the authorities exasperates the masses, and every refusal to act excites their contempt.”


1971

The New York Times publishes the first of the Daniel Ellsberg-leaked Pentagon Papers, which proved that the US government misled the public on the Vietnam War.

“If the war was unjust, as I now regarded it, that meant that every Vietnamese killed by Americans or by the proxies we had financed since the 1950s had been killed by us without justification. I could think of no other word for that but murder. Mass murder.”

“Enemies on all sides, the sword of the dictator.
For how many years did those gunshots resound?”
