Again. this is a case that cries out for a quick resolution on humanitarian grounds but the Soviets have turned a deaf ear. A little more than a month ago I met with the son and husband of Eugenia Kalendarev. After 14 years of being denied a visa. Mikhail was told he could leave the Soviet Union but Eugenia was informed that she would have to stay behind because of "state secrets." The last job Eugenia held was designing boxes for electronic devices and that was more than 10 years ago. Even General Secretary Gorbachev has said in recent days that the period of denial for those allegedly having "state secrets" was 10 years.
