S. history proved that freedom released man's creative impulses, led to the development of productive forces, stimulated inventions, spurred the commercial development of them, European experiences under Fascist and Communist dictatorships proved that freedom was never lost by a direct assault. He wrote: "The drama moves swiftly in a torrent of words in which real purposes are disguised in portrayals of Utopia; [in] slogans, phrases and statements destructive to confidence in existing institutions; demands for violent actions against slowly curable ills; unfair representation that sporadic wickedness is the system itself; searing prejudice against the former...

Mari Sandoz's third book, Capital City (Little, Brown, $2.50), lacks even a credible character. A panoramic, pamphlet-pat story...
