...rule the Soviet Union, Communist Party Boss Leonid Brezhnev and President Nikolai Podgorny, flew into Warsaw last week for an emergency conference. Their troika partner, Aleksei Kosygin, cut short a state visit to Sweden to join them there for talks with party leaders from Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria and East Germany.

Nonetheless, they dramatized anew the perilous state of West Berlin's economic links-a fact that has frightened off both industry and labor...

Last week Fidel Castro, Che's longtime comrade-in-arms and boss, pulled a publishing coup on all of them. He presented Che's diary to the world from Havana...
