...Vladimir Semichastny cried that Pasternak was a "pig" who "dirties the place where he sleeps and eats, dirties those with whom he lives and by whose labor he exists." A mass meeting of 800 "intellectuals" in Moscow's Cinema House demanded unanimously that Pasternak be stripped of his citizenship and thrown out of the country. In the village of Peredelkino outside Moscow, where Pasternak lives in a dacha given him by Stalin,* the local writers' colony complained: "We cannot continue to breathe the same air.

When Batista seized power in 1952, he appointed Hedges a member of his advisory council. Last year a Batista government bank bought a money-losing Hedges enterprise-a rayon-chemical complex in Matanzas province-and leased it back with the proviso that Hedges need pay no taxes for 30 years...
