EDITOR's NOTE. Dmitri Likhachev was one of the early voices that welcomed
Nabokov back into Russian literature.

For those who may not have heard, today that spunky old man of
92, Dmitrii Likhachev, died in St. Petersburg. Even the least sentimental
of Slavists must surely pay homage to Likhachev's rare combination of
brains, erudition, and integrity. Sad to see him go; happy to have had
him.
