...object of all these huzzas was Rumania's diminutive dictator Nicolae Ceauşescu, who turned 60 last week amid trumpetings of praise not heard in the East bloc since Stalin's day. Congratulatory telegrams poured into the Palace of the Republic in Bucharest. Busts and portraits were unveiled. A shrine was being built at his birthplace, in the farm village of Scornicesti. A special exhibition of 60 books on Ceauşescu from 30 countries opened in the capital. Moscow conferred the Lenin Prize, East Germany sent the Order of Karl Marx, and the Rumanian Academy...
...Arab world on procedures. So I wanted first to make sure of one thing. Does Begin really intend to establish peace or not? Is Israel genuine in its demand for peace talks?

Rumanian President Nicolae Ceauşescu announced that the death toll for the country had reached 1,387; he estimated the number of wounded at 10,500, including 2,500 who were still hospitalized. The 20-second quake, which registered 7.2 on the Richter scale and was followed by 20 minutes of reverberations, had wiped...
...ailing; a Mercedes ambulance outfitted with an emergency cardiac unit follows him wherever he goes within Yugoslavia. In the meantime, the Soviets are wooing as many of Tito's numerous would-be successors as possible. Rumania presents them with a far trickier problem. Ceauçescu is a healthy 57 and may well be around for some time. To be sure, he has his internal enemies, who resent his "personality cult," his nepotistic elevation of his wife and son to important positions and his austere economic policies.
