...meeting has been postponed until next year-largely because the Rumanians and Yugoslavs have defied Soviet attempts to hammer out a unified European Communist position on China. Both Bucharest and Belgrade have been cultivating their relations with Peking. Recently, Yugoslavia has even improved its traditionally hostile relations with neighboring Albania, Peking's surrogate in Europe (and the only European state that boycotted the Soviets' cherished Security Conference). Both Yugoslavia and Rumania pressed hard -and successfully-for a visit from President Ford immediately after Helsinki, as a symbolic reiteration of American support...
...Ineffectively, as it turned out-and eventually let the workers keep the paper. The final blow to the Socialists was the M.F.A.'s endorsement last month of a scheme to establish local revolutionary councils that would bypass the political parties (TIME, July 21).

"We have left even Albania on our right," wailed one moderate party official in Lisbon. "The Armed Forces [Movement] has approved 1917-style Soviets for Portugal," said another...
...center of North Korean life looms Kim, head of both government and party and the most durable Communist leader except for Albania's Enver Hoxha (32 years in power to Kim's 30) and Yugoslavia's Tito (32 years). Pictures of the grinning, moonfaced leader are everywhere. Children reverently call him "our father," party officials refer to him as "the sun of our nation" and brides and grooms vow loyalty to him at wedding ceremonies. In Pyongyang, the 95 rooms and 2½ miles of exhibits at the Museum of the Korean Revolution glorify every aspect...
