Throughout the country, black flags of mourning appeared on buildings, statues and monuments. On walls, barn doors, highway signs, car and store windows, the Czechoslovaks tacked up posters and chalked messages demanding in all the languages of the Warsaw Pact that the invaders go home. One message scrawled on a wall in Prague read: "Lenin, wake up. Brezhnev has gone mad!" Said another: "Hungarians, go home. Have you not had enough of these things?" Wenceslas Square turned into a fleet of Czechoslovak flags bobbing on a sea of demonstrators, who shouted in the direction of the 20 tanks parked among...
...union may not have been striking, but the 180,000 daily commuters on the Long Island Rail Road could hardly tell the difference. Because of a 30% curtailment of normal service, which the state-owned Long Island blamed on a slowdown by D'Avanzo's car repairmen, overcrowded trains whizzed by their usual stops, forcing thousands of frustrated commuters to abandon the platforms in search of other transportation to their jobs.

After chasing each other around the track for years, Detroit's automakers and their foreign competition now appear to be coming full circle. The U.S. is about to undergo another compact-car race with a brand new generation of minimodels...
Sawed-Off Mustang. Detroit's new cars, by contrast, will be manufactured entirely in the U.S. and Canada. Ford plans to have its minimodel on the market next April, and General Motors expects to introduce its version in the fall of 1969, at the same time dropping its slow-moving Corvair. American Motors also hopes to produce a small car next year, provided that it can hold down the tooling-up costs. The only automaker without a domestic minimodel in the works is Chrysler, which instead has decided to consider development of what it calls a "world car...
Farthest along in the development race is Ford, whose six-cylinder, 100-h.p. entry will resemble a sawed-off Mustang and have a semi-fastback roof-line that will make it sportier than the Volkswagen, Japan's Toyota, and other leading low-priced imports. The car is currently being test-run at the company's proving ground in suburban Dearborn. Code-named "the Delta," it is considerably longer (176 in. to 159 in.) than the Volkswagen, but does not stand quite as high (53 in. to 59 in,). It will get about 22 miles to a gallon...
