...kept a rich lode of manuscripts in their desk drawers. Currently, the intellectuals are celebrating Dubček's promise to prevent any future censorship by taking them out again. "It is the end of an era," says Novelist Ludvik Vačulik, an editor of the journal Literární Listy, the liberated successor to the banned Literdrni Noviny...
...gathering dust in the censors' office, even allowed TV newsmen into-of all places-a meeting of the Presidium. As reassurance to Czechoslovakia's writers and intellectuals, whose clamor for change led to his takeover, Dubček has approved publication of a new liberal journal entitled Literární Listy. Last week he fired the man who was widely despised for making writers toe the party line, Jiři Hendrych, 55.

But it is a muscular midget-durable, exceptionally nimble in the turns, capable of straightaway speeds up to 175 m.p.h.

A big item in its current surge is its Model 250 sedans, which boast 2.5 liter engines and price tags of $4,000 and up. Introduced in early 1966, the popular 250 drew a two-year order backlog. That has kept production humming while competitors like Volkswagen have been forced to cut back...
