At 11 А. М. there was а ring at the door, and a flustered secretary from the Writer's Union rushed in. Taking care not to look me in the eye, she fumblingly thrust a scrap of typewritten paper into my hand, announcing a conference on the ideological education of writers at 3 PM. that same day (2a). -
