...picture of U.S. life in the minds of many Europeans and Asians. Still, the Europeans' image of Chicago is gangsterism; New York is a fat capitalist, Los Angeles is a Hollywood tart, and the land between the cities is drenched in the bitter lees of The Grapes of Wrath. This caricature is a fact which every American responsibly concerned with U.S. foreign relations must face. A fortnight ago the U.S. Ambassador to Italy, Clare Boothe Luce, had to face it in a concrete form. Invited to attend the annual Venice Film Festival, she found that its program included...
Accent on Form. From Babbitt, to The Grapes of Wrath, to The Naked and the Dead, a generation of talented but angry men has been bending the ear of U.S. readers, almost suggesting that thinking men should secede from the U.S. Wouk is not an angry man.

In the 1930s, the Communists claimed Malraux as their own. Malraux wrote a pro-Communist novel (Days of Wrath), went to Moscow several times, with Gide carried a protest to Hitler against the conviction of Bulgarian Communist Georgi Dimitrov for the Reichstag fire...
...notable pals who walked the plank in earlier years: Cipriano Reyes, who mobilized packinghouse workers to catapult Perón to power in 1945, arrested (and still jailed after seven years); Miguel Miranda, Perón's onetime economic czar, ousted: Juan Bramuglia, Foreign Minister who incurred the wrath of Eva Perón, and Oscar Ivanissevich. Education Minister who wrote the pep song Peronista Boys, both forced to resign: Domingo Mercante, governor of Buenos Aires Province, humiliated and ousted; Juan Duarte, Perón's own brother-in-law and private secretary, repudiated and fired (he committed...
