So it’s Outer Mongolia for Vyacheslav Mikhailo-vich Molotov, hero of the Revolution! We don’t know how to say “outer” in Russian, or even whether it’s the same word before Mongolia as it is before Dark-ness; but we suspect the commissar in charge of appropriate assignments for the fallen has a wry sense of the fitness of things, and is prepared to reduce Valhalla to an old ladies’ home. Maybe Malenkov, Shepilov and Molotov can take electric power stations, smalltime college faculties, and Outer Mongolia; but can Communism? The great Rubashov, of Darkness at Noon, submitted, in the name of his faith, to the executioner; but could he have accepted the role of Chief of Yenisei Boatmen? The Soviet Union may be communizing the world, but at home there is a sure enough bourgeosification of martyrdom going on.

national review greets with its benevolent approval the growing spirit of bipartisanship, evidenced by Senator Knowland in California and Democratic Senator Lausche in Ohio simultaneously calling for right-to-work laws.
