...Secrets. Antonin Liehm, the bubbly editor of the journal Literárni Listy, speaks of the atmosphere as "a lovely dream from which we never want to wake." The dream, however, does have its limitations. Most of them are the result of the Dubček regime's fear of going too far too fast and perhaps allowing the reforms to get out of hand. Though the government has formally abolished censorship, for example, it asks editors not to write about some 12,000 items on a list of "state secrets." The list includes such seemingly harmless subjects...
...onetime banker, Pompidou made no secret of the fact that he felt it would be dangerous to undertake any industrial reform in the wake of France's month-long economic paralysis. French businessmen and unionists counted on him to talk some reason into De Gaulle. At present, France is losing funds at such a drastic rate-$300 million to $400 million a week-that its net reserves of some $5 billion in gold and currency will be imperiled within a few months unless the huge outflow of francs is somehow checked...

So confident was Pompidou that De Gaulle would insist on his staying on that he again mentioned his need for a rest. By July 1, Pompidou sensed a less friendly atmosphere at the Elysée.

The wonder is that this bewitching pageant, the hit of the fair, is contained in a single building in Las Plazas del Mundo. In fact, "The Magic of a People" is a human comedy on the scale of Tinker Bell. Its 41 tableaux...
...Democratic contender is Hubert Humphrey, who has said nothing about the War. In fact he [Nixon] has been more in favor of the War than has Lyndon Johnson. I say, what an impasse for the United States to be in at this time. I say to the American People--Wake up, get out there and do something before it is too late, before we have another president committed to killing American men at the rate of a thousand or two thousand a mouth. This could go on for years...
