SPOTLIGHT

DaithaiC says : South African writer and fellow Nobel laureate J.M. Coetzee today described Solzhenitsyn as “a man of immense personal courage, and, as a writer, the one indisputable heir of Tolstoy." But his message and great polemic gift is perhaps best summed up by a character in the Gulag Archipelago, who observes; “The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either – but right through every human heart”. Never has the soul and earth of his beloved Mother Russia claimed a greater patriot. Rest in well earned peace, Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Russia is in mourning today (4 July 2008) for Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the Nobel laureate whose writing helped conquer the tyranny of the Soviet Union.

DaithaiC says : I was intrigued at the recent announcement by the Home Secretary Jacqui Smith that she wants the Police to harass yobs? The traditional approach was to get evidence and prosecute in open court! Perhaps this important law officer of the state is unaware of the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 (PHA ’97) and her own department’s advice on the subject to the Police, Prosecutors and the Courts?
