- <p> Little girls do grow up in the most delightful ways. Take
- Vera Zieman, for instance. Just three years ago, she was a
- member of a refusenik family in the Soviet Union and wrote to
- Ronald Reagan asking for his help in leaving the country. The
- Ziemans eventually made it to the U.S. with the ex-President's
- help, and today Vera, 15, is thriving in Waltham, Mass. She
- lives with her parents in a white clapboard house with a copy
- of the Declaration of Independence on the dining-room wall. And
- Vera has been accepted by the best private schools in the East.
- She's chosen Milton Academy. Vera's standards: "The teachers
- were O.K., but I liked the food and the dorm."
