...June, barring any last-minute hitches, Alaska Airlines will become the first non-Russian airline to fly tourists into Siberia. Last week Chairman Charles F. Willis Jr. received an all but final go-ahead for the flights from Intourist, the Soviet tourist agency. Washington's Civil Aeronautics Board has given its blessing for ten tourist flights next summer between Anchorage and Khabarovsk...
...second experiment involves the use of four special television cameras to measure the intensity of polarization of the outer corona in various colors. The third experiment is a repeat of photography carried out for the Harvard astronomers at the 1968 eclipse in Siberia. Pictures of the eclipse will be taken through polarized filters at different angles with a specially designed telescope...
...more thing, in response to Mr. Kinsley's inquiry about Jewish painters' helpers-there are unfortunately Jewish "painters' helpers" as well as black ones.

Two of his books, both critical of Soviet policy-Involuntary Journey to Siberia and Can the Soviet Union Survive Until 1984?-will be published in the West next year, but without the approval of official Soviet organizations. As a result, Amalric has been denied his hard-currency royalties. That, in turn, prompted him last week to send a second open letter to six Western newspapers: "Stalin would have executed me for the fact that...
