...last week were coping with the central dilemmas of their trade: once having gained power, how to hold on to it-and how to yield it gracefully. Sweden's Olof Palme, in a poor showing at the polls, managed to hang on to it; Yugoslavia's Josip Broz Tito, after a remarkably long run of 25 years in full control, took the first steps toward relinquishing it; and Malaysia's Tunku Abdul Rahman did the hardest thing of all: he gave it up of his own accord...

It is an underground war involving hired assassins, silent murder, terror attacks and mission-impossible type weapons, including a variety of poison gas that West German authorities cannot yet identify. The fighters are Yugoslavs-exiles opposed to the regime of Josip Broz Tito on one side, agents of the Yugoslav secret service, the U.D.B.A., on the other...

By scrapping Communism...
Spring maneuvers could bring dangerous tensions to the Balkans. Yugoslavia's President Josip Broz Tito, who had been enjoying a rapprochement with the Soviets, has withdrawn to his old neutralist stance and begun to strengthen his country's defenses. The Hungarian reaction has been different from all others, probably because the Czechoslovak episode revived the country's own memories of a far more harsh repression 13 years ago. In hopes of escaping a second crackdown, the Hungarians are keeping the political trappings in place, but at the same time are quietly pursuing cultural and economic reforms...
