Last week Nikita Khrushchev traveled all the way to Yugoslavia to indulge his hobby in one of Europe's more exclusive hunting grounds: the vast domain at Belje, once a sporting ground of the Habsburg princes, now a model "socialist farm" and preserve of Marshal Tito and his cronies. In a happy day's hunting Khrushchev potted three chamois, one stag.
