The Statue of Liberty. whose refurbishing we just noted with such pride and fanfare. stands not only as a beacon of values but as a marker of contrasts. In America we have a profound border problem: too many of the worlds citizens want to enter. work and worship in the United States. In the Soviet Union. there is a border problem of reverse dimensions: citizens are clamoring to emigrate. not immigrate. As we Americans exercise our birthright and criticize our own leaders and our own policiesdomestic as well as foreignthis perspective needs to be kept in mind. The plight of a Soviet Jew is a human tragedy.
