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 month...

But official pronouncements increasingly have also been careful to try to keep both superpowers at haughty arm's length with even-handed warnings against Soviet "manipulation" as well as U.S. "imperialism...
Less than three years after she had been swept from office by an Indian public outraged by the Emergency and the heavyhanded execution of the sterilization policy promoted by her son Sanjay, Mrs. Gandhi could once more be the "daughter of the nation," successor to her father Jawaharlal Nehru and head of the political dynasty that has helped shape India's destiny for more than 50 years...
