...brought into Belgrade's Circuit Court, an austerely timbered room resembling a southern Baptist Church, where a panel of three judges sat under a large portrait of Tito. Smiling confidently, and nodding to his wife in the public benches, Djilas listened to the prosecutor read the indictment: "Milovan Djilas ... a Montenegrin . . ."
