...arrest of Historian Pyotr Yakir, 49 (TIME, July 3), for protesting Soviet violations of civil rights. The son of a Red Army general who was executed during the military purges in 1937, Yakir spent his childhood and much of his adult life in prison. Before his rearrest last June, he told friends that he felt he no longer had the strength to resist torture. He is reportedly under brutal KGB pressure to denounce his associates, some of whom are suspected of being Chronicle editors.

The bailee is "on a string," and the bondsmen "may pull the string whenever they please." The bondsmen may "pursue him into another state, may arrest him on the Sabbath; and if necessary, may break and enter his house for that purpose." In retrieving a prisoner from another state, the bondsman needs no warrant, only a court document called a "bail piece," which states his bail relationship to the defendant...
