Prague exports little but a cautionary tale
Article Abstract:
The Czech Republic is faced with a worsening balance of trade problem. Export growth was 3% for 1st qtr 1995, while imports grew by 35% compared with 1st qtr 1994. A devaluation of the currency may be needed to help combat this situation, though the country's foreign reserves are adequate, according to the Czech prime minister, Vaclav Klaus. Quality is important in the export market and Czech firms put too much emphasis on price, according to one analyst.

Apres moi le deluge: a tightrope walk does little to placate soon-to-be-submerged Fengjie
Article Abstract:
Government officials decided to hire a tightrope walker to conciliate the citizenry of a Yangtze town, Fengjie, that would be flooded by the rising waters of the New China Dam. The tightrope walker successfully made it across a Yangtze gorge, but the event failed to attract any sponsors and few locals could afford the price of the tickets. To honor the feat, a criminal awaiting execution instead was given a life sentence.
