...been changing, of course, for 20 years. The Soviets, in effect, abandoned the Marxist dream of total, supranational Communism with the dissolution of the Third International in 1943. Five years later, on a gamble that Stalin would not risk U.S. atomic firepower by intervening, Yugoslavia's Josip Broz Tito took the first successful walk from Moscow. The Kremlin successfully stamped out Hungary's uprising in 1956, but Tito has been followed in this decade by the puritanical Chinese and their sympathizers in Albania, then by Rumania's Nicolae Ceausescu, who wanted to pursue a freer foreign policy...
...Danger of Reasonableness. On receiving the news, West German Foreign Minister Willy Brandt, the former mayor of West Berlin, hurried back from Vienna. Ironically, he had been on his way to Belgrade to seek President Tito's support for West Germany's new policy of easing tensions with the East bloc. In Bonn, Chancellor Kurt Kiesinger held an emergency Cabinet session. In Paris, London and Washington, the allies, who guarantee West Berlin's security, conferred about what to do.

He was also quick to throw a bone in the workers' direction, ordering the minimum wage of $12 a month doubled immediately. Within hours, dozens of published messages poured into student headquarters from factory Communist committees, most agreeing vaguely to aims of reform...
...foolish courage," Randolph volunteered for a commando raid hundreds of miles behind enemy lines in North Africa. Then in 1943, defying capture by the Germans, he slipped several times by boat and parachute into enemy-occupied Yugoslavia, where he served as his father's personal envoy to Marshal Tito's partisan bands-a service that made him a Member of the Order of the British Empire, the country's oft-awarded distinction for merit...
