When Columnist Drew Pearson interviewed Marshal Tito recently at the island retreat of Brijoni, he was surprised to discover that the dictator's aides were more interested in getting details about the death of Marilyn Monroe than in discussing nuclear testing or Berlin. Last week Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev arrived in Belgrade for a ten-day state visit, and the Yugoslavs again allowed themselves to be distracted from world affairs by a lovely female figure...
...laws of Communist meteorology, when Soviet-Yugoslav relations get warmer, Soviet-Chinese relations automatically grow more turbulent. Last week the Red Chinese and their distant Albanian allies renewed their blistering criticism of Tito and that "modern revisionist," Khrushchev. Peking was especially angry over Tito's interview with Columnist Pearson, in which Tito called the Chinese warmongers. Rising to Peking's defense, the Albanians lashed out at Khrushchev for agreeing to sell MIG jet fighters to India, for possible use against "innocent" Chinese...
Playing for Time. The Diefenbaker government, bidding for time to restore its shattered fortunes, is determined to govern as long as the House will have it-or at least until John Diefenbaker senses an advantageous issue on which to go to the country. Nobel Prizewinner Lester B.

Centerfielder Albie Pearson is a 5-ft. 5-in. shortie who hits a golf ball better than a baseball, and sings rock 'n' roll on the side. Star Pitcher Bo ("No Hit") Belinsky is an unreconstructed pool shark. A retread catcher plays leftfield, and the Angels' double-play combination has toiled for a grand total of 16 other clubs. Manager Bill Rigney was sacked by the Giants, and General...
Diefenbaker's opposition disputed the claim of instant crisis. "In fact," said Pearson, "the present emergency began to develop early this year." Social Credit's Réal Caouette, the funny-money oiator who led his créditistes to a surprising 26 seats in French-Canadian Quebec, put it in blunter fashion. "Diefenbaker knew it months ago; for the campaign, he was hiding those things," he said. "He ought to resign." Diefenbaker indicated that he would not call Parliament into session until September, so that noisy debates would not worsen the crisis. Opposition leaders might grumble...
