The Soviets have also lost an official from their embassy in Rome, Vitali Yurtchenko, who vanished without trace earlier this month. There are no signs that either man has defected to the West. Under discussion at the seminar is a plan to study the consequences of the use of nuclear weapons. The project would require a freer exchange of information than...
