...face of dictatorship in Cuba was the padlock on Havana University, the bodies dumped on street corners by casual police terrorists, the arrogant functionaries gathering fortunes from gambling, prostitution and a leaky public till. In disgust and shame, a nervy band of rural guerrillas, aided by angry Havana professional men (plus opportunists with assorted motives), started a bloody civil war that cost more than $100 million and took 8,000 lives. Last week they smashed General Fulgencio Batista's dictatorship...
...Nikita Khrushchev was TIME'S 1957 choice for Man of the Year, then he doubly deserves your selection for 1958. No other man dominated the world's news more, albeit to the disgust of free men and nations, than this sly, scheming, abusive, arrogant, warmongering, vodka-guzzling Soviet Premier.

Roosevelt should make their disgust widely known as should our own government leaders. If our liberals cannot attack this phony Communist love for artists, they should defrost their phony liberal heads...
...Eliot and E. M. Forster to Bertrand Russell and J. B. Priestley, wired the Soviet Writers' Union not to dishonor the great Russian literary tradition by "victimizing a writer revered by the entire civilized world." In Paris, François Mauriac, Albert Camus and Jules Romains expressed their disgust. The Authors League of America cabled that the U.S. writers most popular in Russia were "those who interpreted life in America most critically." and demanded that Pasternak have the right to express himself with the same "freedom and honesty...
