UMass Dartmouth Student Recants Story: No Snooping on "Little Red Book"
December 26, 2005
The UMass Dartmouth student who alleged that Homeland Security had questioned him over his library request for Mao's "Little Red Book" has now come clean.
"The student confessed that he had made it up after being confronted by the professor who had repeated the story to a Standard-Times reporter," Jonathan Saltzman of the Boston Globe reported.
Professor Brian Glyn Williams told the Globe that when he questioned the student about inconsistencies in his story, the student replied: "I made it up. I'm sorry. . . . I'm so relieved that it's over."
