...mutinous Congolese troops roamed the streets of Elisabethville, the provincial capital, screaming war cries and firing machine guns and rifles. Four automobiles returning to the city after evacuating women and children to Rhodesia were stopped at a railroad crossing. Six of the ten European occupants, including Italian Vice Consul Tito Spoglia, were shot dead, and the others seriously wounded. Cavalcades of cars bearing panicky Europeans streamed eastward to the North Rhodesian border; 3,000 crossed in a single night, and Salisbury hotel lobbies were packed with women comforting whimpering children.

...most slavishly around the big Red Moscow star. When Stalin ordered a purge of Titoists in the '40s, Bulgaria's Communists obediently hanged one of their number, Deputy Premier Traicho Kostov, after a show trial at which witnesses asserted he was a traitor who served not only Tito but U.S. Minister Donald Heath. In outrage, Washington broke off relations with Bulgaria...
