...Matriculated Mob." The man whom the radical students singled out as the symbol of all that is bad in West Germany is a tall, silver-haired publisher who commutes between his six homes in Europe in a private jet, directs his $200 million press empire from atop a glass skyscraper directly alongside the Wall in West Berlin. Springer, 55, is sternly antiCommunist, assertively German, and a strong supporter of the U.S. stand in Viet Nam.

Comradely Compromise. Relatively few men could have brought oft such changes with such calm and order. A tall, mannerly man with a receding blond hairline, Dubček would be an unlikely choice for the task if only because he is a Slovak-the first ever to be entrusted with the most powerful office in the land. Though he has spent most of his adult life as a Communist apparatchik, he has none of the iron rigidity of that breed. Polite and softspoken, he is a master of restraint and poise, dislikes both dogmatism and pyrotechnics. A persuader rather than...
