Plea for Ginzburg as Ill Dissident Amid Detention

More than 200 Soviet dissidents sign an appeal urging the release of Alexander Ginzburg, 49, jailed last week. The group says he is gravely ill and that imprisonment endangers his life. The U S State Department voices deep concern over his detention. Ginzburg has aided dissidents and their families and denies illegal currency charges. The appeal cites pneumonia and tuberculosis symptoms noted before his arrest. Amnesty International’s Valentin Cad argues imprisonment could be deadly for him.

Ford tells first class of regret in Russ author snub

Ford, eight days from the White House, lectured at Yale on foreign policy and reflected on not meeting Soviet dissident writer Alexander Solzhenitsyn in 1975. He praised Harry Truman, criticized Congress for meddling in foreign affairs, and warned that South Korea could trigger a congressional Watergate over gifts from that government. He said it would have been wiser to meet Solzhenitsyn and supported Carter’s criticism of Russia’s dissidents.
