Scot,
Cool. Does the blurb say, or does anyone know, which chapter this is?

>
> "The Possessed has the distinction of appearing as a first American
> edition, in that it contains a hitherto-suppressed chapter. Avrahm
> Yarmolinsky, who provides a foreword and the translation of the newly
> discovered chapter, explains the political reasons for the suppression
> and the manner in which the original was released from the Russian
> archives."
