Even in the face of official Soviet persecution, Russia's greatest living writer remains true to his credo. Last week the clandestine texts became available of Solzhenitsyn's statements before a committee of literary bureaucrats who sought to expel him from the local branch of the Soviet Writers Union in the town of Ryazan, 115 miles southeast of Moscow. "I am ready to accept even death, not only expulsion from the union," he told his accusers, who charge him with allowing his books to be published in the West. "Vote! You can vote.

Now suddenly there is a new obsession with narrow historicity, and the Pope seems ready to jettison whatever and whoever did not "actually happen." It looks like a watershed: either much more will have to be dumped, or a return to a crude fundamentalism is in the works...
...Nazi Germany. "Induce people all to want the same thing, hate the same thing, feel the same threat, then their behavior is already captive," says Laing. "You have acquired your consumers or your cannon-fodder." He calls We-Them "the ethic of the Gadarene swine," and its cataclysmic credo is "to remain true, one for all and all for one, as we plunge in brotherhood to our destruction...
