...Capitol Hill before he moved to the Pentagon. Thus, as the G.O.P. nominee in a special election held last week to choose Laird's successor, State Senator Walter J. Chilsen felt pretty good about his chances. Chilsen, 45, a former television newscaster from Wausau, felt so good, in fact, that he rather imprudently billed his campaign as "a referendum on the Nixon Administration." That was hardly the case, but his coattail reference may well haunt the G.O.P. While Chilsen conducted a languid campaign, Democratic State Assemblyman David Obey (pronounced Oh-bee) ran at full throttle...

...fact that for these events we will again have to pay a high political price. We do not hide from you the dangers." With those words, Alexander Dubček last week warned his countrymen that Czechoslovakia faced its worst crisis since the invasion by Warsaw Pact forces last August. The events that he spoke of were widespread anti-Soviet rioting. The price was extracted from the remnants of Czechoslovakia's freedoms. The dangers were that the Soviet Union's 70,000 occupation troops would storm out of their barracks and impose direct military rule on the helpless...
