...home, it was silence. You couldn't really participate in the life of your country. Now you can." Another Czechoslovak who found that he could come home again is Author Ladislav Mriačko, who went into exile last summer in protest over his government's pro-Arab policy. Mnačko is back in Prague, where his biting novel about a Communist leader's downfall, The Taste of Power, has just been published for the first time...

On its last assignment, helping to quell last year's Aden rebellion, the regiment displayed its typical bravado, marching to the strains of bagpipe music into the middle of the Arab-terrorized Crater district under the colorful command of Captain Colin ("Mad Mitch") Mitchell...
