Thompson returned to Russia with a Kennedy letter expressing hope for a meeting, possibly in late spring, in a neutral European city. Thompson delivered the letter to Khrushchev in Novosibirsk, Siberia, on March 9 and got Khrushchev's "very favorable" response...
Airway Communion. Baptist Freed, who has gathered his knowledge of Russian hearts and souls firsthand in three extended trips through the Soviet Union during the past five years, finds the Russian response heartening. Even in the depths of Siberia he found families who listened regularly to Trans World broadcasts. Appreciative letters arrive each week from the U.S.S.R.

One chapter predicts for the 21st century the mechanization of mines-which is already an accomplished fact in many non-Communist countries. Another tells about hydroelectric stations very run-of-the-river examples, that will be built in 50 years in Siberia. A chapter on surgery describes techniques and operations that have been standard in the outside world for many years. Almost the only unfamiliar glimpse of the surgical future is a tentative plan to use refrigerated corpses (here, according to Gushchev and Vasihev, the girl stenographer faints) as sources of human...
