The World - News from Dec. 13, 1985

A telephone call from Yelena Bonner to her husband, Andrei D. Sakharov, in the Soviet Union was cut short by intentional static when she tried to say she has seen films of him made with hidden cameras, Bonner’s daughter said. The daughter, Tatiana Yankelevich, said the two reassured each other about their health during their first conversation since Bonner left the Soviet Union on Dec. 2 for medical treatment in the West. Bonner, in Newton, Mass., told her husband that she has had minor surgery to remove a tumor from her lower lip. Tests will be conducted to determine if it is malignant.
