Last week, in an hour-long speech well larded with what Germany's anti-Communists call Partei Chinesisch (party Chinese), East Germany's Party Boss Walter Ulbricht got around to announcing the new look in East German Communism. The Ulbricht speech included the now mandatory apology to Tito, a helping of discreet selfcriticism, and the rehabilitation of a few old victims. The first of these (who may not have been Ulbricht's own choice) was his old rival, Franz Dahlem. "The conditions under which the investigation of Comrade Dahlem was conducted," said Ulbricht, "have ceased to exist...
...their newly refurbished hideout on the Ionian isle of Corfu, Greece's King Paul and pert Queen Frederika entertained two neighbors with whom they were once not even on speaking terms. Their guests: Yugoslavia's Dictator Tito and his buxom mate Jovanka. Convoyed constantly and zealously by security-mad Greek cops, Frederika and Jovanka climbed into a tiny motorboat, Paul and Tito into another, raced each other along Corfu's waterfront.

And from the moment that Tito, resplendent in a panama white linen suit, white shoes and black pocket handkerchief, greeted him on Brioni's quay, Nehru was clearly determined to let the wind out of the whole affair. At the end of the first five-hour session, with Tito and Nasser standing sheepishly silent, Nehru wearily chided the 120 newsmen...
...people of Algeria for freedom," and a kind word for "safeguarding legitimate economic interests" in the Middle East, the communiqué carried little but vague platitudes of a pronounced Nehrunian cast. "Points on which there could be no agreement were just left out," explained one Indian diplomat. Tito, in halting English, bade his guests goodbye. "Come soon back," he said...
