Editorial notes that in 1968 the Soviet Union appears to have brokered a settlement with Alexander Dubcek allowing Czech leaders and much of the invasion force to remain. The arrangement suggests Moscow will govern Czechoslovakia under restrained terms rather than full occupation, yielding an uneasy but controlled outcome.
The piece argues that Czech resistance and opposition across satellite states surprised the Kremlin and that a full Russian occupation would bring prolonged unrest. By keeping Czech leadership, Moscow buys time to influence reforms, with longer term hopes of shaping leaders favorable to Russia. The commentary frames the invasion as a setback for the Kremlin and a signal of fear of liberty.

Mrs. F D asks if new medical findings can locate which small heart arteries are blocked and causing oxygen shortage and what corrective method exists. The letter seeks a concise explanation of current diagnostic options and potential treatments for coronary microvascular issues.
In medical centers the technique of coronary cinematography uses X ray film and a harmless dye to visualize heart artery flow. It helps identify narrowed vessels, while arteries like the internal mammary can be used to supplement blood to the heart muscle. Symptom relief comes from nitroglycerin derivatives, isosorbide dinitrate, or prepanolol, which improve circulation without opening blocked arteries.

The piece notes an unpredictable 1968 with bitter clashes over credentials and Vietnam policy at the Democratic convention. It contrasts Democratic and Republican dissension, mentions Nixon and Rockefeller as rivals, and observes ironic cross party parallels and shared vice presidential backgrounds.
