While the Marxist polemics are dated-who keeps servants, anyway?-the psychological tensions of the play are intact. Actor Roger Hamilton is a bristling porker of a Puntila, rutting, grunting and swilling his way through the part, but Michael Fairman's Matti is a trifle too stiff and condescending to be a Sancho Panza foil to this flamboyantly intoxicated Don Quixote...
With this entree, Kazin met most of the characters whose portraits make up the rest of the book. Some of the names Kazin discusses are still familiar--Mary McCarthy, Malcolm Cowley, William Saroyan, and James T. Farrell; others, like those of V.F.Calverton, editor of the Marxist Modern Monthly.

They are going to show that free men have the discipline, tradition and faith to pursue that aim with passion and unanimity until it is achieved. One nation guided by God will show the world how to live... And the children of the earth and their children's children will rise up and call that nation blessed...
