Speaking of Nabokov...

I don't know if this is what started the whole Nabokov thing or not,
but I was in the University of Richmond library Thursday and actually
found bound editions of "The Phoenix" containing the infamous Giles
Weaver letters.  In one of them, Weaver writes,

" Nabokov says ---
  What?  What did you say, you mental health
  industrialists?  you don't care what Nabokov
  says?
  Never fear, I am a principles person and I don't
  persecute my companion in illness. "

Conincidence?
