MARRIED BY PROXY. Alexei Semyonov, 24, graduate student in mathematics at Brandeis University and stepson of exiled Soviet Dissident and Physicist Andrei Sakharov; and Liza Alexeyeva, 25, Moscow mathematician who has been barred from emigrating from the Soviet Union; he for the second time, she for the first; in Butte, Mont., because the state is one of the few to recognize proxy marriages. Semyonov, who has lived in the U.S. since 1978, spoke his vows to Alexeyeva's stand0-in, Edward Kline, editor of the Russian-language publishing house, Khronika Press...

...representing the Soviet Academy of Sciences and Harvard and MIT faculty members. Indeed, Professor Dudley Herschbach of Harvard's Chemistry Department seemed proud to report to The Crimson that "there was very little reference made to politics." Is the memory of the scientific community so short that Dr. Andrei Sakharov has been forgotten already? Dr. Sakharov has been and continues to be censured and persecuted by the very Academy these two scientists represent, and further, these scientists directly contributed to Dr. Sakharov's present plight through their involvement in the Academy's voting process which condemned Dr. Sakharov...
...morale of Soviet dissidents has not yet recovered from the forcible exile from Moscow last January of their undisputed leader, Physicist Andrei Sakharov. The Nobel Peace prizewinner is being held incommunicado, under tight surveillance, in the provincial city of Gorky. Since Sakharov's banishment, a number of groups he supported have been crippled. For example, the KGB has arrested the three leading members of the Working Commission to Investigate the Use of Psychiatry for Political Purposes, a group that publicized the Soviet practice of confining dissidents in police-run mental hospitals...
