...city of Ryazan under the shadow of a Soviet campaign to discredit him. Though his major works (The Cancer Ward and The First Circle) are widely read abroad, they have never been published in Russia. Nor have any of his short stories appeared in the Soviet Union during the past three years. Last week the Soviets moved to impose on him the sentence that a writer dreads most: silence...

But largely as a result of the Government's deflationary policies, industrial production has fallen for the past two months, and auto sales dropped in October. Profits are also sluggish. Most economists foresee a decline in earnings and little or no real growth in the gross national product during the first half...
