When his right hip starts to ache, as it does more and more often these days, Yugoslavian Bossman Josef Broz Tito, 70, likes to dunk his bones in a shallow, sun-warmed, saltwater pool built for him at his villa on the Adriatic island of Brijoni. But come winter, Brijoni's climate is just too cold and cloudy, so the dictator has ordered yet another villa, likely to be equipped with his specially designed pool, to be built 170 miles southeast on the island of Hvar, where the hotelkeepers refund the day's rent if the sun doesn...

Scattered across the green-carpeted room, the members of the satellite pack waited with dull docility, their reflexes string-tied to the master puppeteer: Rumania's Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej, Hungary's Janos Kadar, Byelorussia's Kirill Mazurov, Bulgaria...
...lawn. Then the Emperor gave me the news about his ancient Christian kingdom, perched Swiss-green and cool above Africa's desert heat. The news: Ethiopia has adopted a new posture in foreign affairs which approximates that of 'our great friend,' Yugoslavia's Marshal Josip Broz Tito...
