...highly unusual and seemingly liberal action, the Soviets had allowed Chalidze, an eloquent spokesman for the Russian civil rights movement, to travel to the U.S. for a monthlong lecture tour (TIME, Dec. 18). But early one morning last week, a consular official from the Soviet embassy in Washington, Yuri Galishnikov, called on Chalidze at his Manhattan hotel and amiably asked him to identify himself. When Chalidze handed over his passport, Galishnikov deftly passed it to an aide, who pocketed it. Chalidze was then told that he had been stripped of his citizenship by order of the Presidium of the Supreme...
Ulcers. These fears have been reinforced by the chilling tale of Poet Yuri Galanskov, 33, who died on a prison operating table last month. According to accounts that recently reached the West, Galanskov, who suffered from bleeding ulcers, was not allowed to receive medical care after his imprisonment in 1967 for having edited an underground literary magazine.

After the paintings had cleared Soviet customs in Moscow and been put aboard an Aeroflot plane, acid was surreptitiously poured on the painted surfaces of the Christ figures, Crucifixions and icons that...
...last-ditch attempt to salvage a draw, Petrosian gave up. Pleading "low blood pressure," the Armenian asked that the next game be postponed. He was past help. Fischer took the next three games in stunning fashion and won the match 6½ to 2½. Afterward, Soviet Grand Master Yuri Averbakh, Petrosian's trainer, explained that "Tigran's spirit was completely broken after the sixth game. Anyway, it is impossible to win a world title when you are over 40. Spassky is 34 and will demand the maximum from Fischer...
