- <p> THE FOG IN PRAGUE FALLS MAINLY IN THE BOG. When they think
- of Peace Corps volunteers, Americans are likely to imagine
- idealistic young folk, sporting sunburns and khaki shorts,
- digging wells in Tanzania. That image will need some revision
- when volunteers start arriving in the world's newest developing
- area--Eastern Europe. Agreements have been signed for
- 60-member teams to begin working in Hungary and Poland this
- summer, and a similar program is being negotiated for
- Czechoslovakia. In the initial phase, all the volunteers--whose average age has increased from 24 to 31 since the program
- began--will teach English. But the corps is prepared
- eventually to offer instruction in small-business management,
- agriculture and, says one official, "just about anything that
- will do some good."
