Freedom Fighter

Mario Vargas Llosa has never held political office, never been a recalcitrant captain of industry, never fought on a battle field, and never led a popular social movement, but like Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, he has been a terror to dictators and would-be dictators--simply by writing stories. As a result, he has helped to reshape the world in which we live. This past week the Wall Street Journal published a rare profile of this remarkable champion of freedom.
