NABOKV-L thanks Jacqueline Hamrit for news of her activities for for her
call to Western scholars to respond to our E. European colleagues who often
have difficulty obtaining Western publications.
Also heartening, is her report of attending the Nabokov Symposium in
Saint-Petersburg--which, I assume, she learned of through NABOKV-L.
