...party's cultural watchdog, Jiri Hendrych, warned the restless writers last week that the regime cannot be indifferent to "attempts to abuse the ideological and creative movement on the cultural front." What that means is that when the Central Committee of the Communist Party convenes next week, it will probably take away some more of the privileges that Czechoslovakia's writers have recently gained...
...potential block of over 2,000,000 votes. The fact that Thieu's winning total was only 1,600,000 votes virtually nullified any claims of fraud, even though Dzu and six other civilian candidates kept their promise and served notice last week that they will ask the watchdog Constituent Assembly to invalidate the elections and order new ones.

...renouncing nukes is India, which worries openly about China's bomb. West Germany and Italy have strong reservations about the proposed inspection of nuclear-power reactors to assure that fuels are not diverted to weaponry.

Having rejected that argument by condemning Dodd, the Senate nonetheless is under considerable public pressure to produce an ethics code that provides explicit guidelines for members' behavior-and to do it soon. "Such a code is mandatory," says Majority Leader Mike Mansfield. "We all suffered." Predicts perennial Watchdog John Williams of Delaware: "We'll do it before we go home." Many Senators realize that the Dodd affair and other cases have cast a moral smogbank over Capitol Hill. Utah's Wallace Bennett, an austere Mormon, received a letter from a constituent 1,800 miles away, saying...
