If we assume that the NEW YORK TIMES is in general factually accurate, strives to avoid poor taste and to treat serious subjects seriously, what conclusions can we form on noticing that Vladimir Nabokov was, according to the NYT, interviewed for his own obituary?
**It was customary at that time, and may still be the morbid custom, for the NYT to interview prominent citizens and save their quotes until after their death.
