Abstract
Abstract This article describes the friendship between Mary McCarthy, the American writer of fiction and essays, and Cecylia Wojewoda, her Polish translator. In her youth, Wojewoda was an aspiring poet and playwright; later she became a respected translator of Anglo-American literature (especially theater). The two women first met in Warsaw in 1959. The author, McCarthy’s son, describes, with ample citations from the correspondence, a warm and complex relationship, which transcended factual matters associated with translation. He evokes the give-and-take in this “marriage of true minds,” the two principals’ erudition, and their shared love of Shakespeare. A tie of mutual sympathy kept the friendship going until McCarthy’s death in 1989. The article sheds light on Wojewoda’s earlier life, including a harrowing time in Slovakia in 1944, during the Slovak uprising against the Nazis, and her husband Bolesław’s premature death in London two years later.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
