...free radio stations that had sustained the Czechoslovaks in the first days of invasion and uncertainty faded out, and state censorship was reimposed. Tourists and foreign correspondents were turned back at the borders. A great exodus began, as thousands of the country's ablest professors, artists, writers and journalists fled to freedom in the West.

With Israeli encouragement, more than 30,000 of them have gone to seek jobs in Jordan or the Israeli-occupied West Bank. The Arabs charge that the Israelis are allowing them to leave for political rather than humane motives, since every departing Arab is one potential terrorist fewer to deal with and one mouth fewer to feed. But the rate of the Arab exodus by bus and hired taxi has dropped off lately as word has spread that few jobs are available...
