...proof of his intentions, Dubček has removed almost every restraint on the press and other media. He has banished the party censors from the Central Publications Administration, which oversees the printing of everything from books to streetcar tickets. He has released for production four movie scripts that had been gathering dust in the censors' office, even allowed TV newsmen into-of all places-a meeting of the Presidium. As reassurance to Czechoslovakia's writers and intellectuals, whose clamor for change led to his takeover, Dubček has approved publication of a new liberal journal entitled...
Kachcha Tivu, a square-shaped island nesting among the waves of the Palk Strait between India and Ceylon, is about a fifth as large as New York City's Central Park.

Technical snags (notably computer programming) have already delayed the project two years, and last week the man in charge, N.Y.S.E. Vice President John R. Bermingham, 42, a computer expert, resigned after a personnel shuffle reduced his authority...
That is the script's main-and almost only-joke. As the story's central character, Actor Segal shows flashes of a comic talent hitherto unexplored by Hollywood. But what picture there is for stealing is burgled by Wiseman with his portrayal of a stereotypical literateur. As lofty as Edmund Wilson, he pronounces Jehovah-like judgments on literature and humanity, while for his livelihood, he caters to audiences of culture-ridden housewives who beg, "Please, my Debbie wanted me to ask you about Philip Roth...
