...Miriam Schneir hotted up in their recent pro-Rosenberg polemic. Invitation to an Inquest (Double-day). Part of that book was inspired by the fact that Sobell had not been specifically accused of helping the Rosenbergs tell the Russians how the 1945 Nagasaki A-bomb worked. Sobell's lesser crime was that he helped Julius Rosenberg badger a Navy Department engineer for classified antiaircraft and fire-control information. Even so, he was indicted with the Rosenbergs and duly convicted of engaging in the "single conspiracy" to spy for the Russians...

Such contacts, said Rusk, "can reduce misunderstandings between our two countries and lead, in time, to international cooperation in areas where we are able...
Academic controversy is currently not limited to California. At the moment, another but lesser battle of words rages over Harvard's new Institute of Politics, supported by the John F. Kennedy Library Corporation. British Journalist Henry Fairlie ignited the fuss with an article in London's Sunday Telegraph and the Washington Post, charging that the institute is a vehicle for the Kennedy family "to move in on Harvard" in order to nourish brainpower for its future political staffs.
