...almost precisely the same as the one that Dr. Radhakrishnan, ex-President of India, has been advocating for several years. It may be that Governor Rockefeller and Dr. Radhakrishnan arrived at this plan independently. If so, it strengthens the case for the plan in that two independent sources-one Eastern and one Western-reviewing the same facts, came to the same conclusions. Dr. Radhakrishnan told me that Russia, Czechoslovakia, Japan and the U.S. expressed their willingness to accept the plan. China, characteristically, was not willing...
...cover story (April 5) on Alexander Dubček observed that, more than any other man, he had "planned, pleaded for and nurtured the sweeping changes that promise to alter the temper and quality of Czechoslovak life, and perhaps the nature of Communism in the rest of Eastern Europe as well." As that drama began to climax with a confrontation between Dubček and a phalanx of irritated Russian leaders, TIME'S correspondents concerned themselves last week not only with the central characters but with the people on both sides whose lives and destinies will be affected...
Correspondent Roland Flamini, who was sunning himself in Malta prior to reassignment from Vienna to Chicago, responded to an urgent cable and within hours was back on station in rainy Vienna.

Moscow has watched the other Communist governments of Eastern Europe split badly on the Czechoslovak issue. Communist parties throughout Western Europe, moreover, reared back in almost unanimous disapproval of Russian pressure on Prague.

...Eastern Airlines shuttle from Boston to New York rolled out onto the runway and waited for clearance. At 6:50, it received permission to take off. At 7:30, the plane was placed in a holding pattern over Hartford, Conn. At 7:45, it was switched into another pattern over Stamford, Conn., where it made lazy circles in unison with several other aircraft. At 8:40, the pilot announced that if delayed much longer, he might have to refuel in Hartford. At 9:05, the plane touched down at La Guardia and the passengers deplaned, over two hours late...
