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 Literární Listy.
