Distillers get lightness primarily by using more neutral spirits (grain alcohol), which contain no flavoring congeners, then lowering the proof with distilled water. U.S. distillers are at a disadvantage because federal law limits the amount of neutral spirits they may use in blends, while distillers of Scotch and Canadian have no limits.

Publisher Frederick Praeger was so excited by his steal that he locked one translator in his Greenwich Village house for eleven days, and moved in two editors, two typists, and "enormous quantities of Scotch." The Scotch did not help. The Praeger translation is much the sloppier of the two, neither of which is Nobel Prize material. But the raw reality of Solzhenitsyn's novel survives both...
