On a recent Sunday, Miss Savoyka and her staff members met together at the Ukrainian Institute of America. As usual, they were surrounded by people of various backgrounds and various races. There were three Hasidic Jews in their black suits and top hats, an Indian with a turban on his head, and people whose accents, skin color or facial characteristics pointed to various coun­ Lydia Savoyka, supervisor of Immigration Counseling correspondent Dave Marash; John E.
