On the Target. Josten's bulletin has 600 subscribers in 42 countries (rate, with full reproduction rights, is $22.40 a year) ; it brings him a modest living and enables him and his wife to employ three full-time staffers. They work by reading between the lines of Czech "official" news, monitoring Prague broadcasts, winnowing the news from their informers. In turn, the informers pass the bulletin into Czechoslovakia where each copy, read behind locked doors, passes through scores of hands. As a result, when nine Czech airmen flew a passenger-filled airliner out of Prague in a sensational escape, a girl journalist aboard saw that Josten got the first full story. It was to Josten that Czechoslovakia's world-champion ice-skater, Aja Vrzanova, first reported that she did not intend to go home from her exhibition tour. Josten has become a favorite target of Communist radio blasts, but the more the Reds pound him, the more he knows he is on the target. Josten still keeps the keys to his flat in Prague, says: "I shall need them sooner or later."
