EDITOR's NOTE. NABOKV-L thanks Alex Justice for calling our attention to
this WWW site
HTTP://WWW.BBC.CO.UK/education/centurions/index.shtml

two biographic errors on the first page. The critical bibliography is, kindly
speaking, haphazard. Nonetheless, the thing exerts the sort of morbid
fascination typical of such listings.
