Although press reports said that such activity started in June, TIME Correspondent Stanley Cloud has learned that Senate investigators have obtained evidence strongly suggesting that intelligence officers launched the spy effort as early as last year. The evidence indicates infiltration of radical, dissident and pro-McGovern groups in West Germany.

Yet, as indicated by this Russian-English selection of her poetry, translated and commented on by Stanley Kunitz and Critic Max Hayward, Akhmatova's life probably never would have run smoothly. Although the original music is lost even in the best translation, enough of her emotional tones come through this excellent Englishing to suggest a tough individualist whose highly economical style was due not to reticence but a stubborn belief that...
