...while after the first Sputnik soared aloft two years ago, all Soviet scientists suddenly became ten feet tall, with brains to match. Since then, U.S. scientists have flocked to Russia and under the rules of the current thaw, have seen things that no Westerner had ever seen before. Interviewing the returnees produced a calm, post-panic assessment of just how good (and how backward) Russia's science is. See SCIENCE, Scouting the Russians...

Last month he saw his chance: there were three "critical dates"-Dec. 3, the earliest he could get away from preliminary budget chores; Dec. 11, the opening of the U.S. exhibit at the World Agricultural Fair in New Delhi; Dec. 19, the Western summit in Paris.
