Americans would not go that far if other countries were threatened by a Communist takeover from within, even if the insurrection had outside help; in such a situation, for example, only 28% would have the U.S. come to the aid of Italy.

Instead of being whisked secretly onto an airplane, Dubček last week chatted amiably in the Prague airport lounge with a group of his Czechoslovak colleagues. They had come to see Dubček, Premier Oldřich Cerník and Deputy Premier Gustav Husák off for another round of talks in the Kremlin.
