From the presses within has come in recent years an irregular, handset journal, Grani (Facets), containing some of the major finds of contemporary Soviet letters. Among them: poems from Pasternak's Doctor Zhivago in 1956, a year before the novel appeared in the West, and a transcript of the 1966 Sinyavsky-Daniel trial. Grani also printed excerpts from the now-famous memoirs of Eugenia Ginzburg, Journey into the Whirlwind (TIME, Dec. 1, 1967), an account of life under Stalinist terror...
