...heavy. His five anthologies of prose and poetry are used in thousands of state and private schools. Instead of the usual diet of Wordsworth and Silas Marner, the students get kitchen-sink selections from Hemingway on the birth of a baby, D. H. Lawrence on a son's quarrel with his mother, Koestler on a Communist execution, Joyce on a Dublin funeral. Holbrook's first book on education-combining theory, sample student compositions, and Holbrook's interpretations of their efforts-is required reading at most teacher-training colleges. As his just-published third book, The Secret Places...

What the letters naturally did not mention was the fact that at the time of the interview Faulk ner had spent several days working his way through a demijohn of bourbon, a bout set off by a running quarrel about the racial question with his brother John Faulkner, who was a diehard segregationist...

Behind the quarrel lies Russia's conception of Rumania's role in COMECON, which in 1960 prescribed a division of tasks among Eastern Europe's Communist nations that would have left East Germany and Czechoslovakia as the chief industrial producers of Eastern Europe's Communist world. Under this plan, Rumania, with its oil and farm produce, would have remained largely a provider of raw materials. Rumanian Communist Boss Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej, wanting industries of his own, said no to Nikita. Looking outside the Soviet bloc, he proceeded to purchase iron ore from India and turned...
