...first substantial interview with him appeared in the April 5 issue of the fledgling biweekly New Times-and was written by a novice, Neil Cullinan, a political science professor at Fort Valley State College in Georgia. Cullinan's coup was quickly matched by Washington Post Reporter Laurence Stern and CBS'S Walter Cronkite. All three interviews yielded fascinating material on the fugitive's mood and lifestyle. They also demonstrated that reaching such a quarry can produce more self-serving and evasive responses than fresh information...
...Post's Stern, who was surprised to find his interview request granted, Vesco sang a similar refrain, adding: "I wouldn't go back home now if they granted me total immunity."

Further, in a rare use of the 1967 Freedom of Information Act, Stern successfully sued the FBI to secure records-the latest of which were released to him last week-showing how the FBI, under J. Edgar Hoover, had mounted a nationwide harassment campaign against militant black and leftist radical groups...
...Legend. His full name was Solomon Isaievich Hurok. To his friends he was Sol. To the public, though, it was "S. Hurok Presents," an emblem that invariably appeared atop the newspaper ad, billboard poster or concert program. Beneath it ran names like Artur Rubinstein, Isaac Stern, Margot Fonteyn, the Royal Ballet, the Old Vic and, of course, the Russians he so ably promoted and profited by in the U.S.: Pavlova, Richter, Oistrakh, the Bolshoi Ballet and Opera...
