RONALD ORANGER + GO = ...OREGON + GRAND + HORLA - H = GORLO + GERR + MADONNA - M = GALA + GONDON + TERROR - T = GORDON + RANGER + LOAD - D = GONORAR + DELO + RANG (grand is Russian for "grandee;" Le Horla is a story by Maupassant; gorlo is Russian for "throat;" gerr is German Herr in Russian spelling; gondon is Russian vulgar word for "condom;" Gordon is a character in Pasternak's "Doctor Zhivago;" gonorar is Russian for "fee," "royalties;" delo is Russian for "business;" rang is Russian for "class," "rank"). There are other possibilities. Whether they are not a trap prapared by VN for a future anagramatist, is another question.
