...Egyptian cannon fired again last week, this time in welcome to one of the Arabs' staunchest friends, Josip Broz Tito. When the Yugoslav President's plane arrived in Cairo, Gamal Abdel Nasser warmly embraced his 75-year-old visitor.

For 18 years, Marshal Josip Broz Tito has led his Adriatic nation of 20 million people down the path of a socialism of sorts. Today, as the rest of Eastern Europe begins to catch on, Yugoslavia remains the most autonomous, open, idiosyncratic and unCommunist Communist country anywhere on earth...
