...states flocked into the Cuban capital for the opening of the weeklong sixth summit of nonaligned nations. As host of the conference, Castro was seen and photographed with a wide variety of Third World leaders, ranging from Yugoslavia's Josip Broz Tito, 87 - the last surviving co-founder of the nonaligned movement - to Communist fellow travelers like Viet Nam's Premier Pham Van Dong to such obscure eminences as Bhutan's King Jigme Singye Wangchuk.

Writes Philosopher Alain de Benoist, 35, a founder and leading spokesman of the movement: "The enemy is not 'the left' or 'Communism' or 'subversion' but this egalitarian ideology whose formulas . . . have flourished for 2,000 years." New Right partisans hold that individuals and races are divided by insurmountable barriers of hereditary inequality; in support of this view, they cite the much debated research by such American scientists as Arthur Jensen, William Shockley...
DIED. Jules Irving, 54, co-founder and codirector, with Herb Blau, of the San Francisco Actor's Workshop (1952-65), artistic director of Lincoln Center's Repertory Theater and experimental Forum (1967-73), and later a TV director (Rich Man, Poor Man); of a heart attack; in Reno...
