...anti-Soviet" literature. He has not hesitated to criticize other Russian writers, notably Defector Anatoly Kuznetsov (TIME, Dec. 5). His forte is a particularly acute and abrasive sort of political commentary, and it places him somewhat apart from the mainstream of Soviet dissent, which has always been long on anguish but short on social analysis. Amalric's piece appears this week in Survey, a London quarterly on Soviet affairs, and is to be published in the U.S. next March by Harper & Row. It is entitled "Will the U.S.S.R.

But Lonesome Cowboys , coming out of and replacing Hawks's adventure dramas, has its own brand of despair. If Hawks's characters approached neurosis in their rivalry and their avoidance of domination by women, their constant games of bluff at least gave them a personal style which could become heroic. Warhol's treatment of his characters goes to bedrock; they have nothing but their bodies to back up their actions. They and their world are completely anti-general and anti-ideal. They...
