Someone just dropped by my office asking for one [1]Caryn Voland, an
admissions officer here at Georgetown Law with an office number
similar to my own. See how life imitates art: This is how Bulgakov, in
his novel [2]The Master and Margarita, describes the aftermath of the
plot involving the character Voland, who is Satan in disguise (this
can be spelled Woland in [3]translations):
Besides cats, some minor unpleasantnesses befell certain persons.
Detained for a short time were: in Leningrad, the citizens Wolman
and Wolper; in Saratov, Kiev and Kharkov, three Volodins; in Kazan,
one Volokh; and in Penza � this for totally unknown reasons �
doctor of chemical sciences Vetchinkevich. True, he was enormously
tall, very swarthy and dark-haired.
