Gleb Nerzhin, in many ways a stand-in for Solzhenitsyn himself, makes an opposite choice to Rubin's. By refusing to work on a new bugging device, he condemns himself to Siberia. He is the character most conscious of the paradox that pervades the novel: that in Stalin's Russia only those in prison are truly free to be honest with one another. "When you've robbed a man of everything he's no longer in your power ?he's free again...
...Hubert Humphrey and Richard Nixon, the U.S. has two presidential candidates of proven competence, extraordinary experience in affairs of state and irreproachable private lives. Though neither has the particular panache or grace that commends one to a style-conscious age, each is nonetheless a man of some substance who, at least on paper, seems well qualified for the nation's highest office.

His dark brand of sentimentality has enough youth appeal so that the Smothers Brothers have booked him for a fall appearance on their TV show...
...despite the fact that she was only 18. Her youthfulness has hardly been a handicap. From 76,000 pairs in 1960, Ferragamo has increased its annual production to 130,000 pairs, of which 70% are sold abroad. By far the biggest market is the U.S., where fashion-conscious women spend $22 for simple suede knock abouts, $65 for embroidered pumps and up to $175 for alligator styles...
