Yosyp Terelya, a 34 year old Ukrainian dissident poet, recounts 14 years in Soviet prisons and psychiatric hospitals for refusing to renounce his beliefs. He was freed late last year then rearrested in June and is now in a grim institution. His longhand account describes beatings, isolation, and abuse in Ladyshyno and Sychovka, with 475 inmates said to have died or been tortured at Sychovka between 1963 and 1973. The account, translated from Ukrainian, was verified by US officials though a Soviet embassy spokesman dismissed dissident letters as personal insinuations.

Pennsylvania legislators vote 97 to 97 on a 5.0 billion proposed budget that would not raise taxes but excludes funds for Pitt, Temple, Penn State, or Lincoln.
