Gone With the Wind #1

According to today's Washington Post, in an article about Ethiopian emigrees returning to Ethiopia, in a paragraph about art and literature in Ethiopia, "While imprisoned from 1977 to 1987 for running a student movement, Nobiy Mekonnen, now editor of the newspaper Addis Admas, gained international honors for translating the entire text of "Gone With the Wind" on 3,000 torn cigarette packets."

This raises any number of questions, none of which I am going to ask.
