...transgression and punishment became a routine. In 1961: expelled from Moscow University for arranging illegal poetry readings in Mayakovsky Square.

Former Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg, the chief U.S. delegate, arrived in Belgrade with a big smile and a deft phrase, promising to promote "detente with a human face." Next day the Soviet Union's Yuli Vorontsov invited Goldberg to lunch at a Belgrade restaurant; the Russians picked up the tab. By the luck of the draw, both delivered their opening remarks on the same day.

There was U.S. Ambassador Albert ("Bud") Sherer strolling arm in arm with Soviet Diplomat, Yuli Vorontsov through the glass and concrete Sava Corference Center outside Belgrade.

In addition, the Russians will press for what they vaguely term "positive criticism" that would stress...
...appeared in the West, another Russian writer, imprisoned for publishing articles and stories abroad (On Socialist Realism, The Trial Begins), was released from a Soviet labor camp. In late 1966, Andrei Sinyavsky, now 46, was sentenced to seven years at hard labor for "anti-Soviet slander," while Fellow Writer Yuli Daniel was given five years on the same charge. Daniel was released last year after serving his full sentence, but Sinyavsky was set free 20 months early for good behavior. Even so, he was banned for two more years from returning to Moscow...
