NPAC last night gave the CRIMSON photostatic copies of 19 of the bogus checks. Included among these checks is one made out for $150 to the April 24th Transportation Fund, dated April 23, 1971, and signed by Ruth Anne Putnam, wife of Hilary Putnam, professor of Philosophy. Putnam himself made out a check on the same day to the fund for $36. Both checks were returned to the NPAC office early in May, and the Cambridge Trust Company later gave as the reason for the stoppage-as recorded on a routine bank form by the Putnams-the fact that "merchandise...
...launch of Salyut-believed to be a cylindrical craft 60 ft. long, 30 ft. in diameter, and weighing as much as 50 tons-followed a week of rumors hi Moscow and a call at last month's 24th Soviet Communist Party Congress for a "piloted orbiting station." Hailed by headlines in Moscow newspapers, Salyut seemed clearly intended to function as the core unit of what Russian sources called an "orbiting shish kebab," with a number of manned spacecraft attached...
...cavernous Palace of Congresses last week. The words ironically hark back to an anthem of another day that celebrated the power of the czars. As 4,963 Communist Party delegates rose in a standing ovation, General Secretary Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev, 64, clasped his hands together like a prizefighter. The 24th Soviet Party Congress was nearly over, and the outpouring of praise for Brezhnev was by all odds the closest that the Soviet Union has come to the adulation of a single ruler since the collective leadership overthrew Nikita Khrushchev in 1964. In more practical terms of power, Brezhnev also emerged...
Packed Politburo. In essence, the 24th Congress endorsed the leadership's present policies, which represented primarily a triumph of the status quo, or of "monolithic unity," as Pravda put it. It empowered Brezhnev to "cleanse" the party by expelling members, a device that would enable him to favor his backers. All present Politburo members retained their seats, but their order of seniority was changed, except for Brezhnev and Party Ideologue Mikhail Suslov, who remained No. 4. Dmitry Poliansky (TIME cover, March 29) rose from ninth to eighth position behind Kirill Mazurov, who advanced one step to No. 7. Gennady...
...directed towards May 3 and 4, for which they have planned civil disobedience against the Pentagon and the Justice Department. It is difficult to ask people to come to Washington twice, so the five days of lobbying are viewed as filler between the legal and peaceful march on the 24th and the acts of civil disobedience scheduled ten days later. The lobbying will be low key, and it will provide people with a good sense of how the Capitol is laid out. It will also give them an opportunity to talk with the men and women who have the power...
