...Yugoslav Communist Party is once again in the grip of a wide-scale political purge. In a series of laconic announcements last week, the Yugoslav press agency Tanyug reported the "resignations" of top-ranking Serbian and Slovene officials. In fact, they had been dismissed from office by President Josip Broz Tito, who had moved to put down nationalist strife within the supposedly supranationalist party he has led since...
About 50 young Croat emigres had established a base in the highlands of central Yugoslavia and there fought a fierce battle against government forces. Last week Yugoslav infantry and militia were still searching for remnants of the raiding party, and President Josip Broz Tito called his closest advisers to his retreat on the Adriatic island of Brioni for an emergency meeting...
...years he was reviled as an archtraitor of Communism, the heretic who destroyed the unity of the Marxist faith. But last week, in a dramatic culmination of a historic reversal of Soviet policy, Yugoslav President Josip Broz Tito was treated to a hero's welcome in Moscow.

Under his "self-management" system, workers' councils set wage rates and product prices in each enterprise, and theoretically have the power to fire managers, who are responsible to the councils rather than to a state ministry. Kiro Gligorov, a leader of Yugoslavia's League of Communists and the nation's chief economist, explained to TIME Correspondent Strobe Talbott: "We believe that the state cannot replace private owners in the management of enterprises...
