*** Here is another one for the collection -- "He spent his life being
kicked out of countries that now proudly boast he spent time on their
soil." I suspect I know what the author is trying to say but being forced
by circumstances to leave -- Russia, Germany, France -- is still not the
same as being "kicked out." They are probably recycling this line from
the AP Solzhenitsyn's article which appeared several months ago on his
birthday... GD***

Who can count the errors in the AP article? VN wrote "eight English novels
in France"? If I count Switzerland as part of France - no, I still don't
get eight. And can there possibly have been 33 editions of "Lolita"
in Russia in the last dozen years?
