Mr. Nabokov loved the freedom of the United States, and hated the system of
government that for most of the last century cost so many millions of lives and
dreams in the land of his birth and its surrounding regions. But I seriously
doubt he would consider the Washington Times as representative of his views.

VN could enjoy Playboy and the National Review (especially in complimentary
subscriptions), but even those publications, in the sixties, were miles higher
in intellectual content than a miserable rag like the Washington Times ---
which, from my viewing of it, does not reflect the views of Nabokov.
