For the past two years, the Soviet Union has sent a delegation. But when this year's six-day conference got under way last week, the Soviets did not appear. Instead Moscow simply sent a message to the conference organizer inviting him to the Soviet Union to discuss "our scientific relationship." Speculation as to why the Soviets did not attend has centered on the disappearance in Spain last spring...
