...friends, he is a vigorous, burly, bearded man with a booming voice???possessed equally by his love for Russia and his passion for freedom. To the Stalinists, his enemies, he is the arch-accuser, the self-appointed prosecutor, blackening Russia's name abroad. His works blaze with the indignation of a man who knows his enemy: he spent eleven years in prison, slave-labor camps and exile. His books, as one of the establishment's tame writers once charged, are "more dangerous for us than those of Pasternak. Pasternak was a man detached from life, while Solzhenitsyn is combative, determined...

The final proof of an immense, mysterious appeal was then found in the fact that...
...Steel's Voice??? As remarkable as the change of crude ore to polished steel has been the mental metamorphosis of President James Augustine Farrell of U. S. Steel Corp. in the past fortnight. Two weeks ago at the American Iron & Steel Institute meeting he spoke in a frank, uncompromising manner which was bearishly received (TIME, June 1). Three days later he made a radio speech telling of prosperity soon to come. At the Council he spoke once more.
