Counterattacking, Nobel-prizewinning Novelist Mikhail Sholokhov, a master of vivid invective, last week likened Solzhenitsyn to a noxious plant pest. At a meeting of 4,500 Soviet farmers at the Kremlin Palace of Congresses, the author of And Quiet Flows the Don drew a parallel between literature and collective farming in Russia.

...research in American universities confronted its leader with the charge that he was manipulating them. The resulting discussion yielded great insight into the often manipulative workings of researchers. Another group, studying "Legitimacy and Authority," was getting nowhere with intellectual discussion and decided to construct a psychodrama.
