POLL A U.S. poll released Sept. 10 revealed what Czech polls have been finding for months: Most Czechs oppose stationing the U.S.-proposed radar in their country. The poll, initiated by the U.S.-based NGO the Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance, found that 51 percent of Czechs oppose the base and that about one-third support it.

STARVATION Forty percent of patients in Czech hospitals are malnourished and some die of hunger, according to a Sept. 11 report in Mladá fronta Dnes. The newspaper’s report cites a study published Sept. 10 by the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism. The numbers do not differ significantly from the European average, according to the report.
HOT AIR President Václav Klaus’ image will appear in major U.S. newspapers as part of a campaign to promote the idea that “Global Warming is No Crisis.” The campaign is sponsored by the U.S. Heartland Institute, a think tank that promotes free-market ideas, according to a Sept. 11 Mladá fronta Dnes report.
 
FLOODS A state of emergency was declared Sept. 6 in north Moravia after heavy rains caused rivers to swell to dangerously high levels. About 200 residents in the region were evacuated in anticipation of floods, which spilled into some houses, gardens and basements over the following weekend.
ORCHESTRA Zdeněk Mácal, the conductor of the Czech Philharmonic orchestra who resigned Sept. 8, has agreed to conduct the planned concerts until the 2008 season. Austrian Manfred Honeck will take over as the orchestra’s guest conductor beginning in fall 2008, according to the Czech News Agency (ČTK). Mácal has been relieved of his organizational tasks, ČTK reports.
