Angry Jangles. The clash outside Lucerna Hall was the kind of public protest that has put Party Chief Alexander Dubček under increasing pressures. Those pressures start, of course, with the Russians. Time and again during the recent demonstrations, the hot-line telephone on Dubček's desk jangled with angry calls from Soviet Party Boss Leonid Brezhnev, who warned that the Russian army was capable of controlling the streets if Dubček was not. Dubček summoned student leaders to his office and sternly warned that the party would not tolerate any more anti...
...sudden occupation and gradually tightening grip on Czechoslovakia have made it clear that freedom is a losing proposition in the country. Yet Czechoslovak leaders and citizens have desperately debated and defined each successive loss to the occupiers, yielding no more of the liberties recently won under Alexander Dubček's reformist regime than absolutely necessary to satisfy Russian demands. Last week the first full-dress debate on Czechoslovakia's prospects took place at a meeting of the Communist Party Central Committee. Much of the agenda came straight from Moscow, but that did not stop every pressure group...
Suspicious Miniskirts. The Soviets are applying to Tito the same kind of propaganda and diplomatic pressure that they exerted on Czechoslovakia's Alexander Dubček in the months before Warsaw Pact forces started maneuvers along that country's borders.

Anti-Dubcek Factions. Once again, the Czechoslovak leaders returned from Moscow beaten men, committed to imposing a fresh series of repressive measures on their people.

Premier Oldrich Cernik, who had been in Moscow, implored Czechoslovaks to refrain from wry, between-the-line digs at the Soviets, adding in colloquial Czech: "What about some expressions of friendship, boys?" Similarly, Dubček conceded...
...such resilient men. Despite their overpowering military presence, they still remain unable to find a political quisling to do their bidding. Even so, the Soviet press opened a new attack on the Prague leadership, There were also reports that Soviet army officers were encouraging conservative Communists to form anti Dubček factions. The main problem is that Dubček's popularity remains so high among Czechoslovaks that any move to overthrow him would most likely require direct Soviet military action and perhaps even the creation of a military government. Under those circumstances, the Kremlin leaders still seem...
