...Russia's journalistic gates are not open to all. Several visa applications from U.S. newsmen are still pending, and last week Moscow announced the first outright rejection of a U.S. correspondent's application since the Geneva summit meeting last July. The unwelcome one: the New York Times's Harrison Salisbury, 47, whom some in the U.S. found too uncritical during his 1949-54 sojourn in Russia, but whom the Russians found "slanderous" in the Pulitzer Prizewinning series he wrote after he left...

"A lot of schools have submitted various proposals, ranging from outright gifts of money to fellowships, and some of them may be incorporated into the final plan." He cited the University's work in the atomic energy field as outstanding and added that Harvard had submitted "no major proposal...
