...other's investment capital, labor pool and special industrial talents. There were some signs, most notably new attacks in the Soviet press against Dubcek's programs and the resumption of Warsaw Pact maneuvers along Czechoslovakia's northern border, that the Soviets had started a fresh buildup of pressure. But as a successful host, Dubcek was recruiting the sort of support from his sympathetic guests that might make it more difficult than ever for the Soviets to use the threat of force to bring the liberals in Prague to heel...
...called for an immediate cease-fire in Viet Nam. A good many Viet Nam experts question whether a cease-fire ought to be the first step in reducing hostilities since, like the oft-violated Jet truces, it would provide no assurance against local violence or massive Communist resupply and buildup in contested areas.

Scarcely less memorable is Charles Denner, a painter...
...Fleet's Ice Cream. Obviously, the adjustment to peace would be hardest for the countries where the dollar deluge has been heaviest. In the Philippines, where the number of American troops and dependents has increased to 50,000 since the start of the Viet Nam buildup, the U.S. military outlay last year was $150 million, which helped considerably in easing the effects of Manila's outsize trade deficit...
