...keep Gorbachev's May 15 timing intact, were far from bleak. For one thing, neither the Pakistanis nor the Soviet-backed Afghan regime was even hinting that the slipped deadline would provoke a walkout from the talks. For another, the Soviet representative at the negotiations, Ambassador-at-Large Nikolai Kozyrev, revealed that his government and the U.S. are conducting intensive and highly secret discussions on Afghanistan in Moscow and Washington. The ever persistent Cordovez has privately predicted that the bargaining could drag on. Summed up Noorani: "The important date is not the 15th of March; it's the 15th...
...major sticking point was a demand by Washington, voiced only two weeks ago, that any cutoff of U.S. military aid to the mujahedin must be matched by a "symmetrical cessation" of arms deliveries to the Afghan government by Moscow. Kozyrev contended that the Soviets have been providing military supplies to Afghanistan for decades and that any attempt to end such assistance amounts to interference in Soviet affairs. Said the Soviet negotiator: "It would be like Moscow asking the U.S. to end its military aid for Pakistan...
...informative as a spectrogram, which might tell what chemical elements are responsible for the red color. But astronomers are notoriously skeptical about strange eruptions on the moon, and these confirmed reports are unusually convincing. They also tend to bear out 1961 sightings by Russian Astronomer Nikolai Kozyrev. Dr. Hall believes that the fierce heat of returning sunlight may have released gases from the lunar interior. At a Dallas conference on newly discovered astronomical objects last week, Nobel Chemist Dr. Harold Urey suggested that the gas may have contained carbon in the form of two-atom molecules that cannot exist...
...there was a volcanic eruption, it is evidence that the moon is not a cold, dead lump of rock, but that its interior is still hot, at least in some places. Some non-Russian astronomers have accepted Dr. Kozyrev's observations, if not his theories. Professor Donald H. Menzel of Harvard thinks that Kozyrev certainly saw something happen on the moon, but it may have been merely a jet of gas breaking out of a crevice. Physicist J. H. Fremlin of the University of Birmingham, England theorized in this week's Nature that if the bottoms of lunar...
...also an anti-volcano faction. One eminent American astronomer, who does not want to commit himself publicly until he has digested still more evidence, is highly skeptical. He has examined Alphonsus and has seen no slightest change. He has heard that some Soviet astronomers have their doubts about Kozyrev. They suggest that "he thinks that it is his destiny to make a great discovery." When Kozyrev made the spectrograms, he did not mention them to his colleagues at the Crimean Observatory. Instead, he rushed off to Moscow and a week later held a press conference to announce his lunar volcano...
