Perhaps the troubled Marine, whose mother and sister live in Seattle, wanted to see his ailing 80-year-old father, who returned to Italy a year ago.

But he did not dwell on anti-socialist dangers. On the night of the invasion, two conservative members of the Presidium presented a memorandum stating that the party was losing control of Czechoslovakia to reactionaries. Dubček and his majority on the Presidium quickly rejected it. As Dubček evidently concluded, the perils of "anti-socialism" were distinctly preferable to the economic stagnation...
