...moon rocks with their microscopes, spectroscopes and radiation counters, the LRL's scientists have already pried loose some of the moon's long-guarded secrets. By analyzing a pinch of the powdery lunar dust with a flame ionization detector, Chemist Richard Johnson of NASA's Ames Research Center found the first conclusive evidence of organic compounds on the moon. The presence of these carbon-containing compounds does not prove the existence of life on the moon-simply that its soil contains an element that is basic to life on earth. Johnson found only 25 parts per million...
...last week touched down at London's Heathrow Airport. One of the passengers from Moscow had very special reasons for his trip. To his superiors in the Soviet Writers' Union, Author Anatoly Kuznetsov, 39, had explained that he needed to visit London in order to conduct research for a book on Lenin, who lived there in 1902. Actually, Kuznetsov had a much more compelling motive. Four days after his arrival in London, he managed to evade his Soviet-assigned traveling companion and flee to freedom. Seeking refuge in the home of a Russian-speaking British newsman, he declared...
...Kuznetsov was desperately unhappy. For him the final blow was the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, which, he says, turned Russia's intelligentsia against the Soviet regime. He began planning his escape. His pretext for traveling abroad was perfect. How could Moscow deny a Soviet writer the opportunity to research a book on Lenin's stay in Britain? Kuznetsov transferred his Russian royalty payments to his wife and nine-year-old son. After photographing the pages of his unpublished works, he sewed the 35-mm. film into the lining of his coat. Into his suitcase Kuznetsov crammed copies...
Wild Bill Scholl v. Dr. Sam Sheppard. That surprising billing on the pro wrestling program is expected to pack the high school stands for the exhibition bouts that will be held in Waverly, Ohio, on Aug. 9, to raise money for cancer research. After two murder trials, two malpractice lawsuits arising from patients' deaths and last winter's much publicized divorce petition from his second wife, Dr. Sam ranks as a celebrity of sorts. He also claims to have been a pretty fair grappler as a youth, and he reportedly was something of a champion at Ohio Penitentiary...
...More Time. Japan's leaders smile and agree that, yes, change and more competition are necessary. Toshihiko Yoshino, research director of the Bank of Japan, concedes that opening Japan to foreign businessmen would help considerably to ease inflation. But he and other leaders plead for more time to strengthen companies against aggressive foreign rivals-and time to squeeze the necessary decisions out of the consensus system. Japan's exasperated trading partners are no longer in any mood to grant that time. For instance, Japanese companies do not invest much in research, but instead rely largely on buying foreign...
