One love story had a happy ending Tuesday, as East Germany released the finance of an MIT graduate student imprisoned there for two years.
Elisabeth Neumann--an East German citizen--had been jailed with her fiance Lyle Jenkins for "conspiring to entice citizens out of the German Democratic Republic." She was freed without explanation Tuesday and transported to West Berlin.
Jenkins, who was released last July upon the signing of the Four Power treaty, flew to West Berlin last night from Washington, where he had been organizing a nationwide campaign to 'Free Elisabeth.'
"We're really pleased," Lynn Auker--Jenkins' sister--said yesterday. "Now they can get married."
