From a Wall Street Journal review by David Pryce-Jones of the book by Mario Vargas Llosa titled “The Call of the Tribe”:

Almost elected president of his native Peru and winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, Mario Vargas Llosa combines politics and the written word with a distinction that makes him a Grand Old Man, of whom there are far too few left in the world. As befits this status, he is a liberal in the classic sense that derives from the biblical injunction to do to others what you would have them do to you.
