...power as a huge and populous sovereign state. As the defender of Communism, moreover, the Soviet Union long could do no wrong in the eyes of its followers the world over. The image of Russia as the ideological motherland was buffeted by the defiance of Yugoslavia's Josip Broz Tito, the invasion of Hungary and the unseemly quarrel with Communist China-but the Soviets have up to now managed to maintain their ideological primacy. Now, after three weeks of continuing protest among Communists abroad over the invasion of Czechoslovakia, there is a serious question about how long Russia...
Galvanized NATO. As the Rumanians prepared to resist (see following story), so did the Yugoslavs, though a direct Soviet attack on the premier rebels of the Communist camp seemed ruled out by geography. Yugoslav President Josip Broz Tito and Ceausescu conferred on common defense plans in the event that both nations should be struck simultaneously. Tito then canceled all army leaves and recalled some army reserves. Yugoslav tanks, in a pointed show of force, rumbled through Belgrade and moved into position along the Bulgarian border. Together, the Yugoslav and Rumanian armies total some 395,000 men. Most Yugoslav observers doubted...
...Europe is going to consider his summer complete without at least one visit to Czechoslovakia. First it was nearly the entire Soviet Politburo that dropped in, hoping to persuade Czechoslovak Party Chief Alexander Dubcek and his colleagues to mend their reforming ways.

...aftermath of their victory over the Soviets at Cierna and Bratislava, Czechoslovakia's rulers were carefully masking their jubilation. In the showdown, Dubček had had an unusual weapon in reserve. It was a promise from the Communist world's first successful rebel, Marshal Josip Broz Tito of Yugoslavia, to fly to Prague on three hours' notice if Dubček needed help in facing down the Soviets. As it turned out, Dubček was quite capable of handling the Kremlin phalanx at the summit meetings on his own. But it was nonetheless fitting that...
...been changing, of course, for 20 years. The Soviets, in effect, abandoned the Marxist dream of total, supranational Communism with the dissolution of the Third International in 1943. Five years later, on a gamble that Stalin would not risk U.S. atomic firepower by intervening, Yugoslavia's Josip Broz Tito took the first successful walk from Moscow. The Kremlin successfully stamped out Hungary's uprising in 1956, but Tito has been followed in this decade by the puritanical Chinese and their sympathizers in Albania, then by Rumania's Nicolae Ceausescu, who wanted to pursue a freer foreign policy...
