...fact, Dubček, demoted last April to the figurehead post of president of the National Assembly, had occasionally fretted aloud at the speed and enthusiasm with which his reform movement took hold in Czechoslovakia. 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.

Potentially, it is the most explosive time in Czechoslovakia since the invasion itself. After the Moscow-dictated dismissal of the liberal Alexander Dubček last April, the nation gradually sank into the depths of despair and sullenness. The factory workers who a year ago volunteered for weekend "Dubček shifts" without pay, in order to boost production, are today blatantly loafing on the job and pilfering supplies. The slowdown has made a mockery of practically...
...Bertex shirts closely ressemble those made at Harvard by members of the Graduate School of Design during the April strike. The only difference is that Bertex will stencil the word "Strike" in black while the Design School did it in blue...
