...Hockey audiences have increased by 10-15% across Europe's top seven leagues, as fans turn out to see players they'd previously known only from satellite television. "The [Czech] league has become the equivalent of the NHL," boasts Karel Knap, a sports journalist with the leading Czech daily Mlada Fronta Dnes. That might be a stretch, but it's undeniable that some of the game's European greats are back on home turf again. Jaromir Jagr, the Czech star forward for the New York Rangers and one of the NHL's best-paid players with a salary...
...with a degree in economics from Harvard University, Kozeny made a fortune in the 1990s, handling high-risk investments in mass privatization schemes in the emerging markets of the former eastern bloc. He has always maintained his innocence. "I am a straight shooter," he told the Czech daily Mlada fronta Dnes last November. "I sleep well and don't think that I did anything wrong."

As it neared the gate, two other Soviet soldiers threateningly waved it back with the barrels of their attack rifles. This was the Milovice-Mlada military reservation, where some 20,000 occupation troops have taken up residence about 25 miles north of Prague. With perhaps 300 tanks in their "panzer park," a supply system that brings in everything from candy bars to jet fuel, and a booming PX, the Russians have plainly moved in for a long...
...Czech town of Mlada Boleslav last week came a set of production statistics meant to impress the West as well as local consumers. Daily output of autos from the town's Skoda plant had reached 340; by the end of this year it would rise to 400, for a total 1967 total of over 100,000 cars...
