WitnessAlistair Beattie and the wrong kind of Skoda
In 1967 the young Scottish music student, Alistair Beattie, won a British
Council scholarship to spend two years studying at the Academy of Musical
Arts in Prague. It proved quite an adventure, as he lived through all the
hopes of the Prague Spring and the bitter disappointment that followed the
Soviet-led invasion. Alistair Beattie was recently in Prague again,
playing the viola in the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. While he was
here he told Radio Prague about his very first experience of
Czechoslovakia thirty-six years ago.

National Bank has urged the government to stay out of the ERM-2 as long as
possible so that the economy has enough time to ready for such a step.

The front pages of the Czech dailies today offer a mixed bag of photos and
reports. Lidove Noviny takes a religious note on its page one: it has a
large photo of Pope John Paul II, who is currently in Croatia on his one
hundredth foreign trip. But where Lidove Noviny goes for religion, Pravo
follows with pop culture - and a picture of the Czech Republic's current
Miss Universe Katerina Smrzova, who came seventh in the Miss Universe
Contest held in Panama on Monday.
