...Ankara, Turkey, as in a score of other capitals, the Czechoslovak embassy held a reception last week to celebrate the country's liberation day. What made the occasion in Ankara so special was its host. Alexander Dubček, who led Czechoslovakia through its "spring of freedom" in 1968 and became a hero to reformers both inside and outside his country, has served as Prague's ambassador in Ankara since January. He has been stripped of all political power; two months after taking up his duties in Turkey, he was even suspended from the Communist Party. TIME Correspondent...
...last important diplomatic problem between Prague and Ankara involved the divided island of Cyprus, and Dubček's predecessor settled that last summer by agreeing to stop the flow of Czechoslovak arms to the government of Archbishop Makarios. In other words, as far as the Soviet-dominated government in Prague is concerned, Dubček's main job in Ankara is to rusticate. He is doing his best to comply.

They dub him Horse, tether his neck and make him clop about on all fours. Just before his spirit splinters, Horse is beguiled by an Indian maiden named Running Deer (Corinna Tsopei). The only way to bed her is to wed her, he reasons, and to do that he must earn a place in the home of the braves. To prove his prowess, Morgan takes...
Considering Dubček's enormous popularity in the days when he was seeking to "humanize" Communism, there has been little outward reaction to his eclipse-and little active resistance to the overall repression. The fact is that the Czechoslovak people have resorted to passive resistance to the point where their slowdowns in factories and on farms are endangering the entire economy. Only recently, for example, the government proclaimed four Saturdays as wageless extra workdays because of "serious economic shortcomings." The Czechoslovaks did not exactly respond with patriotic fervor. As an industrial worker in Prague commented...
