...Washington's view, the speech was primarily intended to enhance Castro's prestige as a senior statesman of the Third World. When he first addressed the U.N., in 1960, the 33-year-old Castro was a fledgling revolutionary, overshadowed by such neutralist giants as Yugoslavia's Josip Broz Tito, then 68, and India's Jawaharlal Nehru, 70. Castro has now survived for 20 years as Cuba's "maximum leader." He is also riding a wave of international prestige as chairman of the nonaligned nations, whose conference he was host for-and dominated-in Havana last...
...Presidents, Prime Ministers, dictators and Kings of 92 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.

Two weeks ago, when Brezhnev journeyed to Budapest for a perfunctory meeting with Hungarian Boss Jāanos Kádár, the local press and diplomatic corps were not so much interested in what Brezhnev said as the difficulty with...
President Josip Broz Tito, who was staying near the coastal town of Herceg-Novi when the earthquake hit, visited the stricken area. "It was lucky it was not a working day," the 86-year-old president said. He called in his aides to assess the damage and begin organizing rescue operations...
