(working on pos tab)

So I was looking for info on rbg and Nabokov and came across this pdf: http://mileswmathis.com/nab.pdf note that the following is not my work – full credit goes to the author of the pdf.

 

 

“Then there’s the Schiffs. Stacy Schiff wrote a Pulitzer Prize winning biography aboutVladimir Nabokov's wife Vera. And I was starting to ponder the possibility of VladimirNabokov being a spy when Adam Schiff was in the news a lot with his investigation intoTrump's involvement with the Russians. I was also binge-watching The Americans(lookfor the calling card repeat of '33' on-screen). The Americans was created by JoeWeisberg, a former CIA agent, and is about Russian sleeper agents in Reagan's America.It’s set in Church Falls, VA, which just so happens to be where Andrea Pitzer who wroteThe Secret Life Of Vladimir Nabokov lives.

 

 

Stephen Schiff is one of the writer/producers for The Americans.” (my note; also Lolita, according to imdb)

 

 

“Congressman Adam Schiff’s paternal great-grandfather was Jacob Schiff, albeit hisprofession is listed as butcher, and his maternal grandmother was Marcella Baruch(perhaps a relation of Bernard Baruch). His maternal grandfather was one HarryGlovsky who practiced law in North Adams, MA. Stacy Schiff is the daughter of Mr andMrs Morton Schiff of Adams, MA.

So I started wondering if there were some connections between the Nabokovs and theSchiffs.

 

 

Al Gore’s daughter Karenna married Jacob Schiff’s great-great grandson Andrew Schiff.

(me)since I found this write-up while searching links between rbg and Nabokov, this got me thinking about possible links between rbg and Schiff:
