Last week Husák all but completed his cleanup of the country's legislatures by forcing 63 liberals out of the Czech National Council, the parliamentary body for the Czech-speaking part of the country. Previously, liberals in the federal Parliament had been replaced by hardliners. Among those expelled in absentia from the Czech Council last week were Economist Ota Sik and Kafka Expert Eduard Goldstücker, former president of the Writers' Union, both of whom have gained refuge in the West. Said Dubček's onetime Culture and Education Minister, Ćestm...
...Largely because of the Times, for example, one of those reopened mills closed last week. One article detailed how paper mills in the Pacific Northwest took the smell out of making brown paper, with the implication that Maine's mills should do the same. Another story started a cleanup of the Saco River by pinpointing 39 specific sources of pollution along its 125-mile length. In recent weeks, the paper single-handedly fought to ban snowmobiles from the virgin wilderness of Baxter State Park -successfully...
...Cleanup. Once unleashed, however, the forces were difficult to harness. To this day, the nation remains in disarray. Last month, with the aid of the army, the regime launched a "big cleanup."

These cars, ordinarily well cared for and loaded with optional equipment, are generally the last to be sold, but they often go at prices well below the cleanup levels. Most dealers get a 50 rebate from the manufacturer for every mile shown on the speedometers of their demonstration cars, and they may be willing to pass on the saving to the customer. A $3,100 Chevrolet Impala with 5,000 miles, for example, may cost the dealer only...
...Local conditions vary considerably, but on a national basis, Chrysler and American Motors face the biggest cleanup problem. Their supply of unsold new cars, compared with the recent rate of sales, is substantially larger than that of either General Motors or Ford. Chrysler, for instance, is overstocked with both standard and top-of-the-line Plymouths and Dodges partly because G.M. has made inroads into Chrysler's share of the market among taxi and car-rental companies...
