Subtle Protest. To ease the pains of political reaction, the government has tried to hold down prices and make more consumer goods available, but shortages persist. Two-thirds of Czechoslovak shoe production is exported to the Soviet Union to help pay for the Soviet occupation, for instance, and even Husák in a recent party speech was forced to take note of the situation. "To put it plainly," he said, to get a proper fit "one must have either an excessively small or excessively large foot, or one has to cut one's own foot down...

At 76, white-haired and still handsome, he remains insistent that freedom precludes a Krishnamurti "philosophy" or Krishnamurti "followers." Still, the followers persist. The dissolved sect has been replaced by even more substantial evidence of his influence: Krishnamurti foundations in India, England, the U.S. and Puerto Rico, Krishnamurti schools in England and India.

The South Vietnamese may be hard put to maintain such a force. Moreover, some analysts still argue that the only way to peace in South Viet Nam is a negotiated settlement with Hanoi, which probably could be brought about only through some kind of coalition government in Saigon. A vast army, and the tough, militarist regime that would inevitably go with it, would make such an outcome virtually impossible. The alternative, which might please both Saigon...
