...suitably anti-American, in his own way pushes the cause of the underdeveloped and unaligned nations, and above all rules a country that is bursting with prosperity. Besides, Thorez is having his ideological troubles. Once intensely loyal to Stalin, Thorez long resented Khrushchev's attacks on his old mentor, then finally made his peace with Nikita, and today is among his strongest supporters in the split with Red China. But he runs his party in the unbending Stalinist spirit, disillusioning many intellectuals and particularly the young...

On the sword's handle is a carving...
Fortnight ago, a silver-haired Southern gentleman named John Crowe Ransom stood up in Manhattan to receive the 1964 National Book Award for poetry. As founder and editor of the Kenyon Review, mentor to a platoon of celebrated poets and writers, and father of the New Criticism, Ransom is probably the most influential U.S. scholar-critic of the past 40 years. As the author of a few slender books of poetry, he has drawn the highest praise from the knottiest intellectuals of his time...
