...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...
...finer all-round school on the graduate level than Harvard. Massachusetts now pays full professors an average $17,300-and President John Lederle is an aggressive raider of private-university faculties. Among his recent catches: University of Chicago Mathematician Marshall Harvey Stone, N.Y.U. Botanist Oswald Tippo, Yale Physicist Robert Gluckstern and lohns Hopkins Astrophysicist John D. Strong, who brought $1,000,000 in equipment with him. "We're not trying to create an Ivy League college or a Big Ten here," says Lederle. "We'll take the best of both and do better...
...from 1930 to 1939, has turned out to be one of the writers' most aggressive allies. Last week Pavel Litvinov's notes on the proceedings of the September trial in Moscow of his friend, Writer Vladimir Bukovsky, 26, reached several Western newspapers. 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 state if he had the notes smuggled out of Russia. "What kind of slander can there be in recording the hearing of a Soviet court?" Litvinov asked his interrogator...
...moon by 1970, has virtually scrapped its once ambitious planetary exploration program. Alarmed by the trend, an eminent U.S. space scientist has forcefully spoken out, warning that the U.S. is in effect abandoning the planets to Russia. In a signed editorial in Science, University of Iowa Physicist James Van Allen contrasted the "ambitious and increasingly competent" Soviet planetary program to U.S. plans, which now include only two more flights to the planets: a pair of photographic flybys of Mars in 1969. Criticizing both Congress and the reluctance of NASA "to forcefully request adequate funding," Van Allen also warned that...
Listening to one of today's linemen discuss his duties is a little like listening to a physicist describe some new process for detecting subatomic particles. "Our defense basically revolves around the concept of playing keys," says Tackle Henry Jordan, who together with Ends Willie Davis and Lionel Aldridge and Tackle Ron Kostelnik forms the front four of the Green Bay Packers. "We move with them all the time. On a trap play, for example, Aldridge's opposing tackle will fake a pass block by going for our middle linebacker. Now I've moved with...
