Alexander Solzenitzen died yesterday at eighty-nine. Sentenced in 1945 for making disparaging references to Josef Stalin, he served eight years. Of the experience, he wrote, "It was only when I lay on the rotting prison straw that I sensed within myself the first stirrings of good. Bless you, prison, for having been in my life."
