...tipster-a bank employee who claims to have been asked by a friend to help plan the burglary-it might have worked. Last week, acting again on the informant's tip, police went to an apartment in Coral Gables and arrested a suspect: William McFarlan, 23, a 170-lb., 5-ft. 6-in. freshman law student at the University of Miami, who was charged with grand theft and burglary. Police are now searching for a missing coin collection worth...

Yins' appearance in the West raises again the anguishing question of what, if anything, Christians outside the Soviet Union should do to help those inside. The Baptist World Alliance and other international church bodies have thought that public protest can be counterproductive. And so does the All-Union Council. That view Vins quickly dismisses. "If everyone had remained silent, we might very well be dead," he says of the recent prisoner exchange. He adds that his own prison treatment improved markedly after U.S. Congressmen began calling for his release...
