Outspoken Professor of Law Alan M. Dershowitz has clashed publicly with Bok on numerous occasions, most recently last spring when he tried to persuade Bok to award an honorary degree in absentia to Soviet dissident Andrei Sakharov, an action which would have run counter to long-standing University policy that all its honorary degree recipients must attend Commencement exercises in Cambridge...
...Soviets, the majority say, walked out of Geneva because they don't want peace. Even to its authors, this conclusion must seem peculiar. The fact is, they just have to attack the USSR for something. It doesn't really matter what. That's why Sharansky and Sakharov show up in an editorial nominally about nuclear arms talks.

If you claim you are for peace, you don't walk out out of nuclear negotiations, nor do you brutalize dissidents Andrei Sakharov or Anatoly Sharansky.

Indeed, some analysts speculate that such recent Soviet actions as the harsh treatment of Dissident Andrei Sakharov and the pressure brought to bear on East German Party Leader Erich Honecker to cancel a trip to West Germany are similar bids to reinforce the regime's monolithic authority. Another such incident may have been the sudden announcement two weeks ago that Moscow's outspoken Military Chief of Staff...
There were reports in Moscow last week that Sakharov has submitted a second article to the physics monthly. An official of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, which issues the journal, said he could not discuss work currently under consideration for publication...
