...other by way of East Germany to consult with party leaders there. The conference would most likely take place at either a villa at Zlatá Idka near Košice or a country lodge in the High Tatra Mountains. In both places, the Soviet leaders could easily beckon Russian troops who are tarrying in Eastern Slovakia. However close the troops, Dubček certainly did not plan to cower or apologize.

There are some very good reasons why college students should avoid the drug scenes that so seductively beckon, but the authors of this report haven't managed to touch on one of them. A remarkable achievement. Bruce Jackson Junior Fellow
