Frolov recalls cultural shocks after Soviet exile
Andrei Frolov, freed last month to join his American wife, says adapting to freedom in Chicago is hard at times. He recalls shoe shopping bewilderment in Moscow and notes how Chicagoans dress and act, a contrast to life he left behind. The couple married in 1981 after meeting in 1980 during an American exchange. His arrival in Chicago was June 20.

From across the Potomac, the Capitol Building glows with the Lincoln Memorial in the foreground while hot air balloons drift over Philadelphia for the Century IV Balloon Race launching at Benjamin Franklin Parkway with thousands watching the Independence Day event.
