Tensions are strained over the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Our hopes for productive arms limitation talks are dim. Soviet emigration has dropped radically over last year. But in spite of this dismal picture. I continue to hope that human rights will prevail and that next year I can report on Solomon Albers deliverance from the Soviet Union. It is not an idle hope. it is one that I want my colleagues to share. Solomon Albers story is at the same time his own personal story and yet very much like the story of every other Soviet Jew who is refused permission to emigrate in blatant disregard for the Helsinki accords. Mr. Alber. a mathematician and physicist. was director of a computer research laboratory when he applied for emigration visas for himself and his familyhis wife. Evangelina. and his sons. Mark and Ilya.
