Yugoslavia's economic split personality began emerging in 1950, when Marshal Josip Broz Tito rejected Soviet-style central planning in favor of economic decentralization. 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...
...Yugoslavia's central government. The well-timed incidents provided a grim counterpoint to an urgent meeting of Yugoslav political leaders in Belgrade. As a result of earlier separatist agitation in Croatia (TIME, Dec. 27), which had been a direct challenge to Yugoslavia's federal system, President Josip Broz Tito, nearly 80 but amazingly robust, had summoned 367 of the nation's political leaders to Belgrade for a three-day party conference.

...President Tito in the movie Sutjeska. So was Tito. "I think he was afraid of being embarrassed," Burton explained. Both of them relaxed a bit, though, after some lengthy confabs about what it was like in World War II, when "Tito" was the code name for Partisan Leader Josip Broz, who gave the Germans a rough time in the Yugoslav mountains. How about a part in the film for Wife Elizabeth Taylor? "She could have played a woman doctor, a partisan who was badly wounded, had both legs amputated and died later," said Burton. But nothing came...
