...starving Spaniards-as well as the idealism of their political champions-was brutally exploited by the Communist Party. But for all his abundance of feeling, Del Castillo lacks the equipment of the novelist, and for all his bitter experiences, he still lacks certain political insights. In an agitated foreword Del Castillo writes: "I have never belonged to the Party and am thus not a renegade. But neither am I anti-Communist ...

...Corporation in Modern Society (Harvard University Press; $6.75), 14 topflight economists, lawyers and political scientists take a searching and comprehensive look at the corporate giant. A. A. Berle Jr., whose books on corporate power have become classics, calls the book, in his foreword, "the best body of material on the American corporate system yet offered."

As Kluckhohn observed in the foreword to Joseph S. Berliner's Factory and Manager in the USSR (No. 27 in the Russian Research Center series), the Center thinks that such an inter-disciplinary approach is most successful when it takes place "under one skull...
...historic credit," the study says gratefully, "to have recognized the vital importance of creating healthy economic conditions as an essential prerequisite for a lasting peace." Wrote Austria's Chancellor Julius Raab in a foreword : "The generous aid of the American people ended the seemingly inevitable decline of the old continent. Today there is no doubt that without this aid Europe would have been engulfed by poverty, suffering and chaos . . . Whenever and however we celebrate the anniversary of Austria's rescue from economic collapse, we should remember that the means for our reconstruction were contributed by the American taxpayer...
