...suffered at the dictator's hands came to Medvedev's Moscow apartment to bring him the unpublished memoirs they had squirreled away in despair. Victims of the Great Terror and their friends and relatives told him of their personal ordeals. A host of young researchers volunteered to hunt for Stalin-era documents in the official archives to which Medvedev had been denied access. After the author's twin brother Zhores, a distinguished biochemist and author, was exiled in 1973, he managed to send Roy from Britain scores of important works of Western Sovietology that were unavailable in Russia...
...away from declaring her responses to other and older paintings. Las Mayas, 1958, is a very loose translation of a Goya, turned upside down. Winter Hunt, 1958, in which a fox with pricked ears and pointed muzzle makes a now-you-see-me-now-you-don't appearance among swipes of black and reddish-brown on the bare canvas ground, seems to reflect Winslow Homer's The Fox Hunt.

A pair of bears that had been tagged with radio transmitters could not be located during the winter. Says Assistant Chief Ranger Gary Brown: "The bears don't seem to be frightened by fire. Poaching is a bigger threat by a long...
Louis Auchincloss, discreet attorney to the well-to-do and subtle novelist of their mores, proposes that the period between 1880 and 1910 could be called the Vanderbilt Era, after its largest and wealthiest clan.
