Since then, the Lawrence legend has thrived through a steady stream of biographies and memoirs. His life sparked one of the greatest epic films ever made: David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia (1962), recently rereleased in the original, uncut version its director intended. Moviegoers can once again admire Peter O'Toole in the title role and assume that they have seen Lawrence whole. They have not, through no fault of the actor or anyone else involved in that exemplary movie.

...poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko, historian Medvedev and Nobel laureate Andrei Sakharov, who serves as the group's honorary chairman. But its most important role is to provide an outlet for the grief and pain that victims of Stalin and their relatives have long had to keep to themselves. A steady stream of visitors from all over the Soviet Union seek out Memorial's cramped Moscow office. Many are elderly women who wait for as long as an hour and a half -- as if "they were lining up to buy sausage," says a Memorial volunteer. One woman, hands trembling, offers to donate...
