...Khodorkovsky spends every day from 6 a.m. till 10 p.m. doing senseless manual labor and taking courses on glove-stitching.

He has twice been locked in solitary confinement, once for being in possession of a copy of camp regulations published in a newspaper, and once for having a cup of tea with Alexander Kuchma, 22, occupant of the neighboring bed in his 100-person barrack.

The ever-longer memory bestowed upon us by the Internet certainly adds an additional cost to the prospect of committing a crime.There are also dramatic implications for those of us who write—and I don’t just mean those with newspaper columns. House open lists, course...
