...wake of labor-camp sentences meted out to four youthful critics of the Soviet regime two weeks ago, the Kremlin last week cracked down on the man who had done the most to dramatize the plight of the dissenting quar tet to the outside world. The Soviet government fired Pavel Litvinov, 30, a physicist, from his post as a lecturer at the Moscow Institute of Precision Chemical Technology. It charged that his absence from the institute during the trial was "an infringement of work discipline...
...wild mockery, unthinkable in the 20th century." That is how one young Russian, Pavel Litvinov, the grandson of ex-Soviet Foreign Minister Maxim Litvinov, described the trial in Moscow last week of four young intellectuals accused of anti-Soviet agitation. In a show of defiance not seen for years in the Soviet Union, members of the country's educated elite challenged the government's case. Several petitions circulated, demanding "a full public airing" at the trial. Crowds gathered outside the courtroom, yelling, shoving and needling security guards. But Soviet justice pays scant heed to public opinion. After...
...bureaucratic elders, and risking jail or worse to win more freedom. To the Kremlin's embarrassment, the grandson of Old Bolshevik Maksim Litvinov, Stalin's Foreign Minister from 1930 to 1939, has turned out to be one of the writers' most aggressive allies.

In them Litvinov, 30, a physicist, describes an interview with a KGB (secret police) officer, who warned him that he would be charged with "slandering" the Soviet...
Atlantic Anomaly. Boosted by the Agena's thrust, the Gemini-Agena combination reached a maximum height of 476 miles, carrying Astronauts Young and Collins to the highest altitude ever reached by man-well above the 354-mile record set by Russian Cosmonauts Aleksei Leonov and Pavel Belyayev during the 1965 flight of Voskhod II. In its lofty elliptical orbit, Gemini-Agena passed several times through the "South Atlantic Anomaly," an area where the lower portion of the Van Allen radiation belt dips to within a few hundred miles of the earth. Though the astronauts were exposed to radiation...
...answer. Black Peter, Forman's first feature film, is a droll defense of an aimless Czech teenager, who drifts from senseless jobs to hopeless dance-hall encounters to empty lectures at home. In the devastating symbolism of Joseph Kilián, by 30-year-old Director Pavel Juráček, the protagonist borrows a cat from a pet shop and is entangled in a bleak, Kafkaesque nightmare while trying to return it. Painting a surprisingly harsh portrait of Communism's common man, Evald Schorm, 34, debunks bureaucracy with unmuffled freedom in his Courage for Every Day. Chosen...
