...expelled from the party Novelist Ludvik Vaculik, 41, Playwright Ivan Klima, 36, and Critic Antonin J. Liehm for "attitudes incompatible with party membership," 2) purged Novelist Jan Procházka, 38, of his alternate membership on the Central Committee for "mistakes in his literary activities," and 3) placed Literární Noviny, the weekly journal of the Czechoslovakian Writers' Union, under the Ministry of Culture for "becoming the platform for political views opposite to the Czech Communist Party...
...piston gas engine consisting of a three-cornered rotor that swirls in a combustion chamber shaped like a fat-waisted figure eight. Doing away with the stop-and-start movements of the piston engine saves valuable power for a continuous circular movement. The RO 80 will feature two half-liter engines, placed side by side, yet even this will only take up half as much space as a conventional motor of equal power and weigh about two-thirds as much...
...ever since he began racing for Italy's Enzo Ferrari in 1958. Shelby and Gurney pooled their savings, founded a firm called All American Racers Inc., opened a factory in Santa Ana, Calif. Working with Britain's Weslake Development Co., they produced a brand-new, three-liter engine-a tiny 400-h.p. V12-and a chassis to match.

Unfortunately for Enzo, Ford had a better idea: a new prototype of its own, called the Mark IV, that carried a 7-liter engine and 500 horses under its hood. In pre-race trials, Ferrari mechanics...
...alliances has produced more relaxation almost everywhere. Instead of hacking about the glorious revolution, writers are turning to subjects that range from black humor to dadaism-and the regimes are increasingly helpless to stop the flow. For anyone who doubts the trend, the Czechoslovak Communist Writers' Union weekly Literárni Noviny (Literary News) last week completed the final installment of an eleven-part series. Its title: "God Is Not Completely Dead...
