"MOSCOW (AFP) — Russian writer and dissident Alexander Solzhenitsyn died late Sunday, the Itar-Tass news agency reported, citing his son Stepan. He was 89."
Goodbye Aleksandr Isayevitch. You were indeed a tiny particle of your own people, more than a tiny particle. And more than just your own people, a great particle of all of us. Thanks so much for your work.

You and I have a lot in common. I, too, remember David Frye's imitation of William F. Buckley. The difference between us is, I didn't have to learn to be a conservative -- I loved Buckley when I was 14. And yes, Solzhenitsyn was one of my teenage gods. Write to me at kelley@kelleydupuis.com
P.S. We're also just about the same age. No surprise there I guess.
