Why retainCount = 2 - after release?

Please do not count on retainCount. Fire up Instruments and see if there is a leak. Apple discourages the use of retainCount for debugging purposes.

If I am not mistaken, it could be retained by _window or other objects, so if you call view retainCount; in dealloc method you'll probably get retain count = 0.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
