It May Not Be Art, But It Pays the Bills
</hdr><body>
<p>By Sidney Urquhart/Reported by Daniel S. Levy
</p>
<p> 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?
