Also, Husák is engaged in a power struggle with two rivals on the Politburo, Vasil Bilàk and Alois Indra, ultra hard-liners who immediately welcomed the Soviet invasion in 1968. In order to protect his tenuous position, Husák may have been forced to order the arrests...
Ashbrook is not getting too far in New Hampshire. He has the support of ultra-conservative William Loeb's fabled Manchester Union Leader, but lately the paper has been giving more coverage to the fiestier campaign of Los Angeles Mayor Sam Yorty, a Democrat.

His demonic laugh would warm Edgar Allen Poe's blood and curdles everyone else's. Adjectives like "bone-chilling" were invented for eyes like his. And the controlled delirium...
...former droogs (now turned policemen), by the husband of the woman he raped. It is what Kubrick calls "an almost magical coincidence of retribution"-so magical, in fact, that it eventually brings Alex back full circle, recovered from the Ludovico Technique and ready to embark on a life of ultra-violence with the blessings of the Minister of the Interior himself...
