Very nice. Thanks for pointing this out. I've always been fascinated by Sakharov.

Thanks for linking this - Sakharov was a true hero.
I think Clive James once wrote that the tragedy of Sakharovs life was that, rather than doing the great physics he should have been doing, he ended up having to teach basic ethics to a bunch of thugs.
Sad but true.
