I remember well an op-ed she wrote for Newsweek at the height of the Cold War (early Reagan era): "Americans don't want war, they want to paint their houses".

Her message was that the American system produced normal people who wanted to do normal things, unlike by implication her own country which had imprisoned her husband, one of their greatest scientists, as part of the government's political monopoly and ideological obsessiveness.

I remember the Newsweek editor penning a forward calling her column "puzzling" and "quirky". Thirty years later, they still don't understand what Yelena Bonner did.

A great lady has left us. Glenda Jackson did a teriffic job portaying her.

I remember her back in the 1980’s when she and Sahrkhov (sp?) were harassed by the old USSR. May she R.I.P.

A fine woman. I remember reading a number of her articles over the years. May her memory be eternal.
