- Capitalism has hit home in Czechoslovakia. In fact, it
- has hit the President's house. VACLAV HAVEL's Prague neighbors
- were startled to see an end wall of his apartment house blossom
- overnight into a colorful mosaic of Procter & Gamble billboards.
- Havel, who hopes to use the billboard fees to restore the
- building's crumbling facade, has shrewdly insisted on veto power
- over the content of the ads. P&G happily obliged with a
- politically correct mix of environmental messages that stress
- the company's commitment to cleanliness. Got any wall space in
- Kennebunkport, President Bush?
