...Farm Revolt. But the upset was also a rebuke by farmers and ranchers-who paid welfarism's costs-to the citified beneficiaries in Montevideo (pop. 900,000). The leader of the farm revolt was Benito Nardone, 52, a radio personality with a big rural following.

Inevitably, Moscow's refusal to let Pasternak accept the Nobel Prize and his denunciation by the hired hacks of the Animal Farm ("A black sheep in a good flock," "a pig," "a snake") have alienated intellectuals outside Russia-even India's Nehru protested directly to Khrushchev. But to assess the book primarily in political terms would be making a major error about Doctor Zhivago and about Boris Pasternak. The bitter criticism of Marxism cannot...
