...restoring dignity to male-female relationships is to have girls pay their own expenses when they go out with boys. This idea is sensible since it would assure that girls would go out only with people they genuinely liked. Besides, paying for a girl does, in some vital way, destroy her standing as an individual.

Others slipped out of the studios with vital transmitting equipment, which was soon wired up to put "Radio Free Czechoslovakia" on the air from a downtown Prague apartment. Because single transmitters are easy to track, engineers bounced their signal to transmitters at new locations every quarter hour, some of them supplied by the Czechoslovakian army. The underground radio...
