Twelve Russian students will visit the University for several days next month as part of a Soviet-American cultural exchange program. The twelve, half of a twenty-four man delegation spending a month in the United States, will be in Cambridge from October 28 to November...
...Last Summer no easier. It is told in the same crosscutting flashbacks, as if unrelated strips of film were spliced together to achieve a unity of mood rather than magic. The time is 1916, and Russia is in the midst of war. The hero, Serezha, has come to visit his sister, and soon falls asleep.

...emerged, no one can deny that such talks are a good thing. Conference will continue on most of the major questions, and, if both sides can discard some of their ingrained suspicions, some agreements may be miraculously produced. It may not be unduly optimistic to think that the Khrushchev visit and Eisenhower's springtime trip to Russia will make the important world issues not insoluble, but merely unsolved...
