...distinguished member of the Soviet Academy of Sciences and a Stalin prizeholder who helped develop Russia's hydrogen bomb, Sakharov condemns the imprisonment in labor camps of Authors Yuli M.

...members met in Wheaton for their annual national convention, theosophy was once again under some suspicion. The scarcely adequate reason is that Sirhan Sirhan, Robert Kennedy's accused assassin, had asked for and received a copy of the society's most sacred book, The Secret Doctrine.
