Among questions posed by the Black publishers were: "Is there a sincere effort on Russia's part for peaceful relationships with China?”; "Why are the Russian space shots shrouded in secrecy?"; "Why is no hard news printed in S oviet newspapers?"; "How do Russian newspapers ex ist without ad vertising revenue'?"; "Is Murray See ger's charge that American correspondents in Russia are subjected to undue pressure true'?”.
