Ancient capitals and modern history

Prague — For the next week or ten days the South Bayview Bulldog will file stories from some points of interest in Central Europe. We will also have local posts as well. Prague is one of the great capitals the world. It has a written history dating back more than 1,200 years. In a modern story we will tell later, you will hear how Prague was the scene of one of the great confrontations between Communism and the forces of Freedom. In particular, we will tell of how in 1968 a young a Canadian correspondent for the Associated Press broke the news of a signal act of suppression by the Red Army.
