Last Perch. Dubček's men warned the people against going too far too fast with liberalization. Perhaps mindful of the 20 Russian divisions poised across the border in East Germany, even the most outspoken reformers stopped short of suggesting any break with the Soviet Union. The press did, however, give surprisingly frank coverage of last week's riots in Poland, which were partly sparked by the events in Czechoslovakia...
...word keeps Berlin alive: access. Without the 13 channels through which planes, trains, autos and barges move through East German territory, West Berlin could not survive. Any threat to that access, however small, is a threat to Berlin's life. Last week, after three years in which its lifeline went largely unchallenged, West Berlin was once more threatened by an attempt to limit its contact with the West.

In the old East, the Montreal Canadiens were in front by only eight points; the Boston Bruins and New York Rangers were tied for second, with the Chicago Black Hawks only a point behind...
...part; its contents encourage people to imagine a CIA operative behind every bush-or a Kennedy assassin. But Ramparts has had plenty of other troubles. After a furious intramural spat, it ousted Founder-Publisher Edward Keating. Total adulation of the Black Power movement, plus an article blaming the Middle East war on Israel, caused two other wealthy backers of the magazine to withdraw support...
