...Gulag since its publication in Paris last December. In an effort to blunt the effect abroad of the book's disclosures of Communist repression, Soviet news stories sent round the world portrayed the author as an opponent of detente, allied with "hawks, Maoists and the followers of Hitler." At home, newspapers, periodicals, radio and TV continued to assault Solzhenitsyn with such epithets as "traitor," "blasphemer," "renegade," "fascist," "counterrevolutionary" and "enemy of the people." Party activists and policemen were out scouring factories and collective farms for signatures to letters expressing patriotic indignation about Gulag. Scores of such letters have already...
...accompanied by a parent. Manhattan Child Psychiatrist Hilde Mosse warns that the film provides a "deadly mixture of sex, violence and evil. The idea that we can solve our problems by magic instead of by rational solutions is destructive. I lived through this before Hitler came to power. He said, 'Listen to the language of your pure Germanic blood, your unconscious.' The Jews in Germany then became the devil to be exorcised.

Point out the exact pages! Tass says that in my autobiography I admitted my hatred of the Soviet system and people. My autobiography was published by the Nobel Foundation in 1970. It is available for the whole world to see how insolently Tass lies...
...recklessly ignored Oscar Wilde's advice: "A man cannot be too careful in his choice of enemies." In the darkest days of the Hitler war, Bevan accused Churchill of "petrified adolescence." (The patrician Prime Minister, in the course of their 26-year feud, called Bevan a "squalid nuisance" and later "Minister of Disease.") In one of the worst gaffes of his career, Bevan denounced Conservatives-presumably, all 8,093,858 Britons who had voted the Tory ticket in 1945-as "lower than vermin." Nor were his own leaders spared Nye's spiced tongue. He thought of his Prime...
