...week after the Moscow meeting, TIME's Washington bureau chief, Strobe Talbott, took a call from Sakharov's son-in-law Efrem Yankelevich, now a resident of Newton, Mass. Yankelevich told Talbott that his father-in-law had sent a copy of the private speeches. Sakharov, said Yankelevich, had requested that a way be found to publish their text. Talbott and State Department Correspondent David Aikman, both of whom read Russian, studied the material and recommended that TIME print the dissident's views. This week the magazine takes an exclusive look at those statements, Sakharov's most detailed examination...
Readers of these books must be prepared for complications. The evidence against Bradfield and Smith was sufficient to convince two juries of their guilt. (Smith is also suspected of murdering his daughter and son-in-law, although their bodies have never been located.) But one is never quite certain of what actually happened. Both men maintain their innocence, even though Smith came close to boasting about the crime to a fellow inmate. Bradfield had a solid motive: $750,000 worth of insurance policies that Susan Reinert had taken out, naming him the beneficiary. (He had previously been convicted of stealing...
Events in Moscow last week seemed like scenes from a world turned upside down. Dissident Physicist Andrei Sakharov, who recently returned from seven years of internal exile, was invited to a nuclear disarmament conference at the Kremlin. Meanwhile, Soviet police arrested Yuri Churbanov, the son-in-law of former Leader Leonid Brezhnev, and jailed him on bribery and corruption charges. In addition, officials freed more than 40 political prisoners, the largest dissident group to be released in three decades, and announced that some 500 people, most of them Jews, have been granted exit visas. Only 900 people were allowed...
Still, the Kremlin had plenty of invective left for its enemies at home. In arresting Churbanov, 50, Brezhnev's son-in-law and First Deputy Minister of the Interior from 1980 to 1984, Moscow continued its crackdown on official misdeeds. Gorbachev has repeatedly attacked lax ethical standards under Brezhnev, who died in 1982, and has given top priority to rooting out corruption. If convicted, Churbanov could face 15 years in prison or even death for accepting bribes...
...title of founding father, however, belongs to Honey Fitz's son-in-law Joseph Patrick Kennedy. Once he makes his entrance as Harvard man, Rose's suitor and shrewd young banker, he dominates the narrative. Joe and Rose begat Joseph Jr., John, Rosemary, Kathleen, Eunice, Patricia, Robert, Jean and Edward. There are some formidable characters here. Rose was defender of the faith and the stoic keeper of the hearth and appearances. Joe Jr., killed during World War II on a near suicidal bombing mission, was the pick of the litter. Vivacious Kathleen ("Kick") died in 1948 with her foolish lover...
