Slog - Comments on From Gulag to Prime Time http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/02/from_gulag_to_p While we all freak out about the free press/the clash of civilizations/political manipulation of the passionate faithful/fatally humorless zealotry/etc., here's a nice bit of truth-will-out cheer from the International Herald Tribune: Just a few decades ago, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (the once-exiled writer who served eight years in a Gulag camp for criticizing Stalin in a private letter, then fled to Vermont, then won a Nobel Prize, and is still writing at the ripe old age of 254) smuggled a potentially deadly novel he'd written out of the USSR.

Congrats on kicking Terminator 3's ass, Alexi!

"Woe to that nation whose literature is cut short by the intrusion of force. This is not merely interference with freedom of the press but the sealing up of a nation’s heart, the excision of its memory." (Time magazine)

"Hastiness and superficiality are the psychic diseases of the 20th century, and more than anywhere else this disease is reflected in the press." (Commencement address at Harvard)
