SDS getting Moscow and Beijing gold?

What a joke. I certainly never saw a penny of it. We did much better with Abby Rockefeller and an old grant from the United Auto Workers to help organize the unemployed.

Besides, the RCP was formed long after SDS had passed from the scene, and the CPUSA back then had its own rival group, WEB DuBois Clubs, and didn't care too much for us at all, especially those in charge of the party finances. Not a penny from them, either.

As the 'Inter-Organizational Secretary' of SDS, I came assure you we had no connections with China, as much as we might have liked to.

At the top of our lists where connecting with the Cubans and the Vietnamese, which we did, but believe me, there was no 'gold' involved. We got something much more valuable--an education on how people can make history, especially if their cause is just and they persist in struggle.

One of the meanings of 'running dog,' by the way, is a poor puppy with diarrhea. In your case, the moniker fits rather well.
