Members of the Sakharov family living in the West speculated that Bonner had joined the fast. Aleksei Semyonov, Bonner's son from her first marriage, who lives in Newton, Mass., glumly noted, "We believe it could be a matter of days now before either one or both of them die." In Paris, Bonner's daughter, Tatyana Yankelevich, appealed to French President François Mitterrand, who plans to visit Moscow this summer, to intervene. Foreign ministers from the European Community sent a joint statement on the Sakharovs to their Soviet counterpart, Andrei Gromyko. The U.S. State Department denounced...
...From the moment it was concluded, U.S. officials made clear that just as a defensive rivalry would fuel an offensive one, so defensive arms control must be accompanied by offensive arms control.

Alexei emigrated to the U.S. in 1978 and arranged a proxy marriage with Liza last June. The Soviet government, however, refused to permit Liza to join her husband. Only after a much publicized, 17-day hunger strike by Sakharov and his wife-now living...
...that passed word of the Kremlin's decision to Alexeyeva that she could go to the U.S., thus halting Sakharov's fast. Alexeyeva, who married Semyonov by proxy last June, had been previously denied a visa to leave for the U.S. On Saturday, Alexeyeva boarded a train to visit the Sakharovs in the industrial city of Gorky, where the couple has been living in exile for the past 23 months...
