Anthony Lewis wrote a column about Leon and Benjamin Charny in the New York Times. Let me quote a paragraph: There are other human rights matters in which the logic of Soviet policy is hard to grasp. For example. about a dozen SovietAmerican couples. married and engaged. are still kept apart because the U.S.S.R. will not grant exit visas. But if anything is inexplicable in its embarrassment to the Soviet Union. it is not letting cancer victims spend what may be their last days with their famiIies abroad. Today. Leon Charny holds a vigil outside the Soviet Embassy hoping someone inside will take notice. and finally grant his brother the exit visa he has been seeking for 7 years. And he is not alone. in the Soviet Union. Benjamins wife begins a hunger strike on behalf of her husband.
