...weapon in the cold war. Inevitably, Moscow's refusal to let Pasternak accept the Nobel Prize and his denunciation by the hired hacks of the Animal Farm ("A black sheep in a good flock," "a pig," "a snake") have alienated intellectuals outside Russia-even India's Nehru protested directly to Khrushchev. But to assess the book primarily in political terms would be making a major error about Doctor Zhivago and about Boris Pasternak. The bitter criticism of Marxism cannot be missed, and Pasternak obviously wrote exactly what he wanted to write. But he also says: "My novel...
Indeed, it is very disturbing that neither exiled President Mirza and Revolutionary President Ayub nor your two worthy readers from Pakistan had anything to say in favor of democracy and civil rights. This is in great contrast to the statement of Prime Minister Nehru that the answer to the stupendous development of Communist China is a "challenge to democracy to achieve equal progress without coercion," not a Mirzaesque approach that democracy is unfit for this challenge...
Last week, laying the line for his visits later this month with the Messrs. Nehru, Nasser and Sukarno, Communist Tito poked at the Soviet bloc in general and the Chinese Communists in particular.

...Choral Voice. While their words spread out across their world, John, 59, and Mike Cowles, 55, hold two or three half-hour phone calls a week, brief each other on their sessions with distinguished friends. They seldom need to coordinate editorial viewpoints. John may be closer to the famous-Nehru, Eden, Eisenhower -and Mike may lead a more spectacular private life: his present wife is his fourth; his third was tempestuous Fleur Cowles, editor of the avant-gaudy monthly Flair, which failed after twelve issues in 1951. But with identical backgrounds (Exeter, Harvard, Des Moines city rooms), the two brothers...
