...Telephone Rang. Last October, Michael's mother, Queen Helen, was summarily commanded to vacate her Banloc villa. Rumania's blowzy, blow-torchy Communist boss and Foreign Minister Ana Pauker, her ruddiest henchmen and Yugoslavia's Tito needed a meeting place. Tito arrived in a private train protected by 1,500 crack troops and a food-taster. The servants in the villa were locked up to insure privacy, and for four days (while Rumania's top Communists rustled their own food and made their own beds) the policymakers discussed Queen Helen's son Michael...
...Silent People Speak ridicules the idea that Yugoslavia lies behind an iron curtain, and fervently portrays Tito's ruthless satrapy as a democratic government which differs from the U.S. merely in form, not in essence.

Obediently, a functionary rode the elevator to the top, descended again in a trial run. (The elevator worked for Tito, too, but stalled on the next trip, trapping President of the Republic...
...treaty signing did not take long. Tito stepped into his bulletproof limousine and-making a last-minute selection of one of three previously cleared routes -receded from the scene at a discreet 60 m.p.h. As the cavalcade flashed along, little jets of water spurted up through manhole covers; the sewers had been flooded as an extra precaution...
