<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."
