...closest ally, was stripped of membership in the federal legislature, his last state function. Ten other liberals were also forced to resign, thus virtually completing the purge of deputies who remained loyal to Dubček. But the struggle is far from over. Some Czechoslovaks expect a bitter battle over economic issues next month, when the party's 135-man Central Committee, which is composed of 35% conservative extremists, holds its scheduled plenum...
Despite the growth of private medical care, the 21-year-old National Health Service is in no danger of extinction. There have been bitter complaints (most recently over increased charges for false teeth and eyeglasses and imposition of a 30? prescription fee), but the British know that the program has served them well.

Delaney of New York City, that...
...change of mood from the first to the second Mabuse is complete. Each character of the second is typed, limited, almost judged in a hard, bitter manner. In the place of the ambivalent de Witt we have a pig, Inspector Lohmann, whose chief distinction is the dread in which petty criminals hold him. A practical detective, Lohmann works not by mental penetration and battles of the will, but by reconstructing acts men have already committed. He uses physical clues to track down the master criminal where de Witt tried to discover his identity and scize Mabuse himself...
