...achieve his original aims, Brezhnev deftly shifted emphasis to a display of Soviet reasonableness. He assured his listeners that the U.S.S.R. had no wish to reinstitute a Communist "organizational center" or Cominform-which would be impossible in any case. This was apparently a conciliatory gesture to Yugoslav President Josip Broz Tito, 84, who participated in an international Communist conference for the first time since 1948, when the Kremlin-dominated Cominform expelled...

Ceauçescu is a healthy 57 and may well be around for some time. To be sure, he has his internal enemies, who resent his "personality cult," his nepotistic elevation of his wife...
...little uneasy about is Gerald Ford, who is coming up fast as a jovial but strong character actor. Among the performers sharing the limelight will be French President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, British Prime Minister Harold Wilson, Yugoslav President Josip Broz Tito, Rumanian President Nicolae Ceauşescu, Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. In all, leaders or representatives of 35 states will gather at Helsinki, including spokesmen for the Vatican and every European country except myopic, Maoist Albania. Everyone seemed to be groping for a phrase that would sum up the spectacle...
