...international group of scientists and professors headed by Nobel Laureate Sheldon L. Glashow, Higgins Professor of Physics, collected $3000 this week to start a scholarship fund in honor of Soviet nuclear physicist and dissident Andrei D. Sakharov...
...feel that a wall of misunderstanding, indifference and passivity has grown up around me," complained Andrei Sakharov in a letter to fellow scientists in the West. To break down that wall by an action compelling enough to attract world attention, the Soviet Union's most celebrated dissident went on a hunger strike last week. The world-renowned physicist and winner of the 1975 Nobel Peace Prize said that he was protesting the inhuman treatment given his daughter-in-law, Yelizaveta (Liza) Alexeyeva, 26, by Soviet authorities...

Soviet intervention in Afghanistan has become a chronic irritant in East-West relations: Secretary of State Alexander Haig reiterated U.S. outrage in his talks with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko at the United Nations a month ago, and the Afghanistan issue will probably be debated in the U.N. General Assembly next month. Most Western press coverage of the conflict has come from listening posts in Pakistan and India and from reporters who have slipped into rebel-held territory. TIME...
