Shcharansky’s Wife Tours U S To Push Rights
Avital Shcharansky arrives in Chicago for two days of speeches urging Americans to pressure the Soviet Union over human rights. A petition signed by about 500 scientists will be sent to Premier Brezhnev and the Soviet Academy of Sciences condemning violations against Anatoly Shcharansky and Yuri Orlov, with a boycott to suspend personal cooperation until their release.
