It is a dubious distinction. Certainly. he never aspired to hold such a record. His desire is to emigrate to Israel and be united with his family. In recent months. Veniamins wife. Tatiana. has been diagnosed as having cancer. Finally. she and more recently. Veniamin have been invited to apply for exit visas. There is still no indication when or if their applications will be approved. We can only hope there is some shred of humanity in the Soviet bureaucracy. some respect for world opinion. that will move them to allow the Bogomolny couple to emigrate as soon as possible. Those of us who can and who are must continue to work to help people like the Bogomolnys and Natan Shcharansky. The Soviet refuseniks will not be forgotten.
