...raids of the Cambodian mainland. At home and abroad, some political experts thought that the show of force, which had many of the gung-ho elements of a John Wayne movie, was excessive. The Tokyo newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun asked, "Why did [the U.S.] have to use a cannon to shoot a chicken...
...Dubcek experiment of "socialism with a human face," Czech film directors, as well as many other people, were faced with the following choice: emigration abroad or "internal emigration." For most of the directors who stayed, the "normalization" meant no longer being allowed to shoot the kind of films they wanted. Sometimes they had to agree to film according to the expectations of the new regime.

...future of Czech film directors in America is a different story from the future of Czech cinema.

...pumped month by month in 1972; any amount produced over that level is considered "new" oil and is not controlled. Under Ford's order of last week, 4% of the old oil would be freed from control each month; over two years or so its price would presumably shoot up to the world price of about $11 per bbl. Zarb estimates that decontrol would eventually add about 5? per gal. to the price of gasoline. The prices of heating oil, industrial fuel and all other petroleum products would be pushed up too. Senator Jackson figures that decontrol would ultimately...
