...very words were calculated to convey an impression of Soviet flexibility and weary impatience with the U.S. "The Soviet Union has stated its readiness not to have in Europe a single missile and a single plane more than possessed today by NATO countries," said Soviet Leader Yuri Andropov. "We are told that in this event the Soviet Union would have more missile nuclear warheads. All right, we are prepared to reach agreement on the equality of nuclear potentials in Europe, both as regards delivery vehicles and warheads, with due account, of course, for the corresponding armaments of Britain and France...

He was replying to an appeal that had been sent to him and to President Reagan by a group of distinguished U.S. scientists and arms experts who are campaigning for a ban on the development of weapons...
...eyes at the memory of her victory in the courtroom 14 years ago. The 63-year-old advocate brought to America a treasured photo of Sasha, grown up, that is touchingly inscribed to her. But she has other, tragic memories of the dissidents she could not save from injustice: Yuri Galanskov, who died of mistreatment in the Gulag; Ilya Gabay, who killed himself in despair; Anatoli Marchenko, who was sent back to the camps for ten years after three terms of imprisonment and exile...
