    Solzhenitsyn is one of my heroes. He died a couple day ago. He was a paragon of strength and integrity.

    If you ever get the chance, read "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich", it is a wonderful book.

    It is interesting that a man who became a hero in USA and the world for exposing the soviet Gulags, lived long enough to see the establishments of Gulags in USA. :(
