Alexeyeva and Semyonov reach United States amid visa battle
The reunion occurred in a private airport room as Alexeyeva and Semyonov urged Western support to protect Sakharov and Bonner from Soviet reprisals. Alexeyeva had just received an exit visa after a hunger strike. She said she plans to stay in the United States and visit Boston with Mrs. Yankelevich and her husband Efrim while reporters and photographers watched. A Brookline officer warned Semyonov for speeding, and he noted a proxy marriage to a Soviet woman faced nonrecognition. A news conference in New York City was tentatively planned.

Alice Stehley says food aid will be hardest hit as people suffer in cuts seen since Reagan era policies.
