Sakharov is but another in a series of repudiations of these important accords. To be sure. when we cite the names of Shcharansky. Ginzburg. Orlov or Sakharov. we cannot forget the hundreds of thousands. if not millions. of lessprominent cases and even more egregious violations. We must never forget the aspiration of those Soviet citizens who wish to worship or emigrate and who are not scientists or intellectuals. But the Sakharov case has foreign policy implications that go beyond our discussion Of human rights violations and I would like to dwell on the importance of Dr. Sakharovs arrest and its timing for that reason.
