...Bondage. Rumania's abrasive brand of independence was launched by the late Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej (TIME, March 26), and both East and West have been closely watching the words of his successor, Rumanian Party Boss Nicolae Ceausescu, to see whether he would try to slip his errant satellite back into more orthodox orbit. Ceausescu (pronounced Chow-shess-coo) delivered a ringing answer last week as delegates from 56 Communist parties around the world gathered in Bucharest for the Ninth Rumanian...
Ceausescu again defended the Rumanian decision to industrialize, and as for Comecon trade, he asserted flatly that "Rumania develops economic relations with all states, irrespective of their social system, on the basis of mutual advantage." Ceausescu went on to make clear that Rumania's economic independence was merely the handmaiden of political autonomy. "Each [national] party has the exclusive right to independently elaborate its political line," he announced. He called for the abolition of all military blocs and, in a reference ostensibly to Viet Nam but which surely raised eyebrows among such members of his audience as East Germany...
...advantages. A Mexican divorce takes one day and roughly $500 (v. $3,000 in Reno), including jet fare to El Paso and cab fare across the border to Juárez.

Susan's lawyer duly appeared to admit the allegation and submit her to the court...
...sightseeing tour that included Moscow. When he hit the Big Onion, naturally, the airman dashed off another note, saying, "Here I am, and I'm thinking of joining the Workers' Party," sealed it and stuck it in a mailbox. His chuckles lasted all the way to the Rumanian border, where Soviet border guards, muttering about "passport irregularities," whisked him off his tour bus and back to Kiev. There he was slapped into a guarded hotel room and visited by three suave but hopeful Soviet agents, who, it seemed, read other people's mail. Now, if he really...
...depict the far-out cover subject the editors called on an artist of far-ranging talent. Rumanian-born Saul Steinberg studied psychology at the University of Bucharest and architecture at the University of Milan, was a U.S. Navy officer in World War II, and has gained an international reputation for his vividly imaginative drawings. He is best known, perhaps, for his regular contributions to The New Yorker, has also been published in LIFE, FORTUNE, SPORTS ILLUSTRATED and Harper's Bazaar. In his deceptively simple linear technique, he gives life to Paul Klee's definition of drawing...
