In some urban areas, nearly half of all the residents stay off the streets at night for fear of attack, a third have grown too cautious to speak to strangers, a fifth have become so terrified that they would prefer to move out of their present neighborhoods. More and more people report that they keep firearms at home for self-protection; watchdogs are becoming as popular as the friendly family pet.

Pretty good at long-distance peddling, Motokov's Prague-based bureaucrats export an extensive line of products including bicycles, buzzsaws, machine tools and household appliances-far too many items for the sort of sales effort Skoda executives would prefer for the 1000 MB. Says one Skoda man, "Motokov has many very good people, but it isn't ideal to have them sitting far from the factory selling a car they know nothing about...
