Sakharov Accepts Nobel Peace Prize in Moscow
Andrei Sakharov, the Soviet dissident physicist, accepted the Nobel Peace Prize and urged action for political prisoners. He said he would travel to Oslo to receive the award if allowed to return to the Soviet Union afterward. He hoped for a broader detente and a possible amnesty, noting the prize money of 140000 dollars and the potential impact on Soviet authorities.
