Daniloff to Speak Here Next Month

Nicholas S. Daniloff '56, the American journalist released last week from the Soviet Union after a month-long imprisonment, will arrive in Cambridge next month to discuss his life as a U.S. correspondent in Moscow.

The Russian Research Center invited Daniloff in April--months before his arrest--to be a featured speaker at a day-long seminar, "The Soviet Union: Orientation for Journalists--preparation for Summit II".

The 51-year-old correspondent for U.S. News and World Report was arrested for espionage on August 30 by the Soviet secret service, in apparentretaliation for the arrest of accused Soviet spyGennadiy Zakharov in New York a week earlier.

The release last week of both Daniloff andZakharov, along with Soviet dissident Yuri F.Orlov, cleared the way for the super power summitin Iceland this weekend.

The November 10 seminar is jointly sponsored bythe Russian Research Center and the NiemanFoundation.

At the seminar, Harvard Soviet specialists,among them Joseph S. Nye Jr., Dillon Professor ofInternational Affairs, Adam B. Ulam, GurneyProfessor of History and Political Science andMarshall Goldman, associate director of thecenter, will speak on topics such as Star Wars andarms control, U.S. Soviet relations and politicswithin the Kremlin.

Later that evening, Daniloff, who was acorrespondent in the Soviet Union for five years,and Maria Casby, a former ABC producer in Moscow,will relate their experiences in the Soviet Union.

Tickets for the seminar are $150 apiece, andapplication forms are available from the RussianResearch Center. Organizers expect a turnout of 90for the event, said Kathy Reed, a staff assistantat the center
