...well as cigarettes. During their second night, Flight 253A's nine air hostesses were given damp, makeshift beds in an airport building. During short respites, the imprisoned Americans were allowed to leave the aircraft to stretch knotted muscles, smoke and use Soviet outhouses. These interludes and the dreary view from the airliner's ports afforded a rare peek at the Kuriles, which Russia has guarded with xenophobic jealousy ever since the islands were seized as booty from Japan after World War II. A mist-shrouded necklet of 50 volcanic islets, the Kuriles are strung strategically from within seven miles...

How would this ambitious multimillion-dollar project be financed? An idea by Chemist Libby suggested one possible source of funds. In the nearly perfect vacuum of space, he said, scientists would finally have available the contamination-free conditions that would allow them...

Sometimes the audience wishes it could forget too, in view of the age and bulk of most singers who are up to the demands of the vocal score. Not even the composer's innovation-minded grandson, Wieland Wagner, could change this. His productions introduced heavy hints of Freudian psychology, but the lovers' bond remained shrouded in symbolism.
