Milner Milnor-Wolf result on growth of solvable groups

The MilnerMilnor-Wolf theorem says that any solvable group has either polynomial or exponential growth. I wonder about the existence of alternative proofs of this fact. I have an impression that the original proof is more brutal and less ideological. If you have a citation or a suggestion of an alternative proof, please post.
