Many of these strenuous activities were filmed for a TV spectacular that was designed to show the health and vigor of Josip Broz Tito, 83. The demonstration was convincing, up to a point. There are no more rumors in Belgrade these days that the Yugoslav President is suffering from some deadly disease. Gone also are the whispers that he is no longer fully in charge of the multinational Communist country he forged in 1945 and holds together by the force of his personal prestige. Still, awareness of Tito's mortality was heightened in Belgrade by Francisco Franco...

In another work, he accused Yugoslav President Josip Broz Tito of permitting a "cult of personality" and denounced the Yugoslav "party oligarchy" for attempting "to reintroduce total dictatorship in all vital spheres...
...explanation, despite Stonehouse's prowess as a swimmer. But in the weeks since his disappearance, assorted rumors have turned the case into a riveting political whodunit. Some have claimed that Stonehouse was a secret CIA agent; others have suggested Mafia connections. Last week a Czech spy defector named Josip Frolik, who now lives in the U.S. under an assumed name, said that Stonehouse-who was widely known to be a rabid anti-Communist-was in fact a fellow secret agent. In the House of Commons, Prime Minister Harold Wilson angrily denied the charge...
