...description of his arrest and deportation adds some compelling new details to earlier accounts. After being charged with treason he was put in a cell with a pair of currency black-marketeers. Recognizing the author, one of the criminals expressed his dismay that Solzhenitsyn had not gone to Stockholm to collect his 70,000-ruble ($78,000) Nobel Prize in 1970. "You could have bought so many automobiles with that money!" Touched by the man's naive pity, Solzhenitsyn felt his first twinge of regret at having decided not to go to Sweden. Believing that he would probably...
...ceremony came four years late, but last week Soviet Author Alexander Solzhenitsyn finally entered Stockholm's Concert House to accept the 1970 No bel Prize for Literature. "The Swedish Academy and the Nobel Foundation have probably never had as much bother with anyone as they have had with me," said Solzhenitsyn at a Nobel ban quet.

The National Gallery retorted that it was not its policy to exclude anyone. Result: the preview was canceled...
...head of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe for ten years after that. He is a considerably more familiar figure than his fellow laureate, largely because of two major works published nearly a quarter-century apart. While a professor at the Uni versity of Stockholm, Myrdal carried out extensive research in the U.S. to pro duce his classic An American Dilemma (1944). It interwove economics and sociology in arriving at its conclusion that white America had dangerously betrayed its ideals in its treatment of blacks. With Psychologist Kenneth Clark, Myrdal is now at work on a follow-up study...
...autobiographical series called The Novel About Olaf, published in the mid-30s, was never completely translated into English. The two writers' fame is hardly international, and the choice promptly gave rise to complaints. One charge seemed at least plausible. Alexander Solzhenitsyn is expected at the December ceremonies in Stockholm to pick up his 1970 prize and the Swedish Academy did not want his presence to upstage another international figure like Graham Greene or Vladimir Nabokov, for instance...
