...propagandist playwrights of the 1930's have, both politically and artistically, plummeted out of popular favor. Their folksy brand of unflinching radicalism--often Marxism--makes sense neither to the new leftist nor the new liberal.

About the only things old pokes would still recognize about the industry, indeed, are its size and its troubles. Cattle roam no less than 40% of all the land in the U.S., account for 20% of all farm income and the principal revenues of at least...
