As one high-level Italian Communist explained to TIME Correspondent Herman Nickel: "How could [Italian Party Chief] Enrico Berlinguer sign a statement on democracy that [Czechoslovak President] Gustav Husak could also sign?" The red-leather-bound final declaration, placed before each delegate at the opening of the two-day conference, affirmed the "complete independence" of each party "in accordance with the socio-economic conditions and specific national features prevailing in the country concerned...
