1.	Ulla Dydo, following William McFeely's 1981 biography of Grant, tells the story of Grant's change of name rather differently from the way Stein does in Four in America. Dydo writes, "Hiram Ulysses Grant—always called Ulysses—changed his name when he entered West Point at age seventeen. He planned to be Ulysses H[iram]. Grant. The congressman who made the appointment forgot his middle name and sent in the appointment under his mother's maiden name, for Ulysses S[impson]. Grant. The name was never corrected, and Grant signed himself 'U. S. Grant,' though he never used 'Simpson'" (Ulla E. Dydo with William Rice, Gertrude Stein: The Language That Rises, 1923-34 [Evanston IL: Northwestern UP, 2003], 579 n. 48). That it was something between a clerical error and congressional fiat that changed the initials the young Grant planned to adopt ("U.H.") to "U.S.," with all that the latter letters portend for Grant's and the country's future (according to Four in America), tends to confirm Stein's claims about the ineluctable shaping force of first names.
2.	Ulla Dydo, who has worked long and closely with Stein's manuscripts, provides a stimulating and succinct account of the meanings of "geography" and "composition" in Stein's thought and writing in Dydo's book (written with William Rice) Gertrude Stein: The Language That Rises, 1923-34 (Evanston, IL: Northwestern UP, 2003), 70-75.
3.	William Carlos Williams's pioneering essay, "The Work of Gertrude Stein," first appeared in the avant-garde magazine Pagany in 1930. It is reprinted in Kirk Curnutt, ed., The Critical Response to Gertrude Stein (Westport CT: Greenwood, 2000), 194-99.
4.	Wanda Van Dusen published an early consideration of the politics of Stein's wartime activities entitled, "Portrait of a National Fetish: Gertrude Stein's 'Introduction to the Speeches of Maréchal Pétain (1942)," which appeared in Modernism/modernity 3:3 (1996), 69-92. Barbara Will is at work on a book about the matter; until it appears, see her article, "Lost in Translation: Stein's Vichy Collaboration," Modernism/modernity 11:4 (2004), 651-68.
