...from Moscow. Under Soviet plans for COMECON, the faltering Communist answer to the Common Market, Rumania was supposed to concentrate on growing foodstuffs for the rest of Eastern Europe, thus stunting its own economic growth. Refusing to be a mere "garden for the Socialist countries," Party Leader Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej insisted on developing Rumania's own natural resources. Bucharest's feud with the Kremlin is still going strong, perhaps the first time on record that a Communist country has publicly stood up to Big Brother and not been pilloried...

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's Todor Zhivkov, Albania's Mehmet Shehu, Czechoslovakia's Antonin Novotny.
