Notes and topics

After reading BR's appeal in The Times for the release of Olga Ivinskaya and her daughter, Benenson writes to BR to ask for his support and bring attention to the "centenary movement to call for an amnesty for all those who are held in confinement on account of their ideals." The Appeal for Amnesty will be launched in Britain by The Observer in May, and Penguin is bringing out two specials to support it in November.
