...plane's owner heard that it had gone down in Cuba, he asked Hormel what had happened. Hormel denied ever making the flight. He was in Alabama at the time, he said; someone must have stolen the plane while his back was turned. It may be tough to prove. In Havana last week, the word was that Flyer Hormel had left his passport in the splashed plane-and that the U.S. Navy found the document when it towed the plane ashore...

But by extraordinarily ingenious methods described in the British Medical Journal, the drug sleuths found a way to prove that there had been 84 units of insulin in Mrs. Barlow's buttocks when she died, and 240 units may have been injected.

Stavrogin, Dostoevsky's moral monster, seduced an innocent. The difference is that Stavrogin told of his crime to prove he was capable of it; Nabokov's character tells his agonized story to show that he was incapable of not committing it. In Nabokov's world, crime is its own punishment, and the possessed are not possessed by devils but by themselves...
