It has cut down both the size of its army and the duty tenure and has reserved the right to decide on its own whether to go to war with the rest of the countries in the pact. Bucharest boycotted the plan of Comecon, the bloc's common market, to make the nation merely a provider of gasoline and grain, instead is busy building a broad industrial base from which to trade West as well as East...

In 1952, when Wilhelm Furtwangler was denazified and reinstated as conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic, Celibidache drifted off to-pursue his lone-wolf existence...
...Similar headaches of "dual nationality" confront naturalized U.S. citizens born in Egypt, Greece, Iran, Poland, Rumania, Syria, Turkey, Yugoslavia and several other countries.
