Marxist theory and practice differ widely in Yugoslavia, in ways that were probably never foreseen by the regime's founder, the late Josip Broz Tito. In 1950, Tito began to create "different forms of socialism" for his Communist nation. In his plan, the country would openly look to the West for trade and inspiration. Today, 800,000 Yugoslavs live in Western Europe, mostly West Germany, as guest workers, while their countrymen are also free to travel to the West, and openly aspire to a Western style of living.

Under Carol Fox, its late founder and general manager, Maria Callas made her American debut in a sizzling Norma, and the Lyric became home to such 1950s and '60s legends as Soprano Renata Tebaldi, Tenor Giuseppe di Stefano and Baritone Tito Gobbi.

This has caused alarm and suspicion among many Ugandans. Opposition parties charge that Muwanga organized fraudulent elections that put Obote in power in 1980, after the bloody dictator...
Imagining White as the Most Valuable Player was an enjoyment for a moment, but no more pleasant than the next instant listening to the Cardinal understudy turned star Tito Landrum modestly describing the latest of his outlandish heroics. Landrum's opposite-field homer in Game 4 (3-0) left St. Louis just one victory from its tenth championship in 14 World Series. A minor league drifter who once was essentially traded for himself, Landrum took over during the National League play-offs for Rookie Left Fielder Vince Coleman, stealer of 110 bases, who was gobbled up by an accidentally loosed...
