...Sofia to review the seven-nation War saw military pact, the Soviet bloc's top bosses traded hugs and kisses aplenty. Bulgaria's Premier and Party Boss Todor Zhivkov, the host, Russia's Leonid Brezhnev and Aleksei Kosygin, Czechoslovakia's Alexander Dubček and Rumania's Nicolae Ceausescu-all greeted each other effusively. As the second high-level Communist meeting in as many weeks wore on, however, the bruises soon outnumbered the busses...
...shrewd leader of Eastern Europe's nationalist Communists and a man who has increasingly chafed under Soviet attempts to dominate world Communism, Rumania's Nicolae Ceausescu cast a jaundiced eye from the very beginning on last week's conference of Communist parties in Budapest. Ceausescu sent a Rumanian delegation only after exacting Moscow's promise that there would be no attacks on any national Communist Party and that there would be "a free exchange of views" on whether to hold a giant summit meeting of Communist parties, Moscow's chief proposal at the meeting.

When the apology was not forthcoming, Niculescu-Mizil denounced Russia's "Stalinist tactics." Then the Rumanians walked...
...real extent of Rumania's break with Russia will become evident this week, when the Rumanians have to decide whether or not to attend a meeting of Warsaw Pact countries in Sofia. Even if the Rumanians finally decide to go, Ceausescu's decision to pull out of last week's meeting left the Kremlin in a quandary. Though it now has no serious opposition to its plans for a top-level meeting, it also has less to gain than ever if it occurs. Once intent on isolating Maoism at a summit meeting, Soviet Marxists now stand...
