...trouble. The Government later produced evidence that Sobell and the Rosenbergs did far more than pass pleasant evenings together. Sobell, said the Goveminent, gave the Rosenbergs secret information, including details of firing control mechanisms for weapons, and recruited a high school classmate into a spy ring managed by Anatoli Yakovlev, Soviet vice consul in New York. When the Rosenbergs were tried in 1951 on charges of passing U.S. atomic secrets to Russia, Sobell was a codefendant. Found guilty, the Rosenbergs were executed in 1953 after the failure of a worldwide crusade, mostly Communist-inspired, to save them. Sobell...
Among the variety of new Russian jet liners they saw on display at Le Bourget, U.S. experts were most impressed by the potential of the YAK-40, a 23-passenger, tri-jet transport designed by Aeronautical Engineer Sergei Yakovlev, 27, son of famed Soviet Aircraft Designer Alexsandr Sergeevich Yakovlev, for whom earlier YAK planes were named. What he had in mind, said Yakovlev, was a replacement for the famous old DC-3. Yakovlev's workhorse jet has thick, high-lift wings, big flaps, a relatively slow cruising speed of 450 m.p.h. and fat, soft tires-enabling it to land...
...gave Rosenberg a cross-section sketch of a Nagasaki-type bomb. Greenglass pleaded guilty before testifying, got a 15-year sentence after the trial, and is now free. > Harry Gold, the courier, is also now free. He testified that in June of 1945, his Soviet-consul spymaster, Anatoli Yakovlev, sent him to pick up information from Turncoat Physicist Klaus Fuchs in Santa Fe and from Greenglass in Albuquerque, where he signed a registration card in his own name at the Hotel Hilton. At the time of the Rosenberg trial, Gold had already pleaded guilty and was serving a 30-year...
...Moscow a mammoth African research center headed by the Soviet Union's top African expert, Professor Ivan Potekhin. Top Soviet diplomatic talent was rushed to Africa, including Middle East Ace Daniel Solod, who is Moscow's Ambassador to Guinea, and hard-driving Ambassador to Congo Mikhail Yakovlev, whose clever footwork has gained him seemingly unrestricted access to Patrice Lumumba's office. Soviet diplomats have cleared the way for such projects as the African student scheme under which, last week, arrangements were made to send 150 Congolese youths to Moscow's new Friendship University in the autumn...
...feral companions has once again proved to be unfilmable. The 1948 French version at least had the advantage of a magnificent portrayal of Prince Myshkin by the late Gerard Philipe, who was almost unknown at the time. Like everyone else in the Russian film, the present Myshkin, Yuri Yakovlev, acts at the top of his voice, generally while striding up and down in a pattern that would be understandable if he were carrying bagpipes. A good deal of the plot, including the murder of Nas-tasia Filipovna, has been left out, presumably for clarity. What is left never becomes very...
