Prague shake-up reshapes Czechoslovak leadership
In Prague the Communist Party replaces its 13 member Politburo with nine members as hard liners are ousted and Milos Jakes loses the top post. The Central Committee adopts a reform program amid rising calls for free assembly, press freeedom, and talks with non-Communist parties. Opposition plans a general strike Monday to press for releases, talks, and reforms.
