BdL,
I read all of Solzhenitsyn's prison camp stuff.."First Circle", "One Day..", all three volumes of "The Gulag Archipelago" back in the early 80's. I think there was a scene in Gulag where two women (a warder and her charge) were walking down a corridor in some jail in Leningrad while the Germans were shelling the city. A shell landed close by startling the warder who grabbed the prisoner in a bear hug momentarily. Then, when the concussion subsided-they promptly went back to their "roles". *Work* is hell.
