...marriage of the year or a crude political hoax? Belgrade was buzzing with rumors last week after stories appeared in the Western press reporting that Yugoslav President Josip Broz Tito, 86, had married Gertrude Minutic, an opera singer 51 years his junior. According to the unconfirmed reports, which surfaced while Tito was on a "mission of peace to the Middle East," he had taken his fourth bride after divorcing his estranged wife Jovanka, 54.

Many things have changed since then, but not the enduring presence of Yugoslav President Josip Broz Tito himself. Last week, as 2,300 delegates from the Balkan federation's League of Communists and observers from 63 foreign Communist parties (including the Soviet Union's) met in Belgrade for the country's eleventh national party congress, the official four-day agenda seemed of secondary importance. Overshadowing everything was the figure...
