...economy. His first really critical test looms at the end of this month, when he intends to summon a Central Committee plenary session and try to force the resignations of some of the old guard among its 110 members. The conservatives, in turn, hope to have rallied enough support by then to turn Dubcek out of office and replace him with Alois Indra, 47, a onetime railway worker who sees things Moscow's way. He may get an open boost from Kosygin if Dubcek is unwilling to put the brakes on his reform program...
...making any provocative statements that might have incurred Moscow's wrath; he is in enough trouble with Russia already. A series of recent head-on clashes with the Kremlin has so fractured relations that Rumania is no longer welcome at high-level Communist conferences.

Lawyer Ron Yank, 26, was a fraternity man at Berkeley, saw what direct action could do when a sit-in won more jobs for Negroes at a San Francisco hotel. Yank joined S.D.S. while attending Harvard Law School, became co-chairman of the local chapter...
...often becomes alienated and antisocial. Black Power militants, he said, might similarly reject the idea of rejoining the U.S. family as full-fledged relatives, even if such a status is eventually offered to them. "Much of the outcome," he said, "depends on the extent to which White America can support the movement...
