Your June 18 analysis of the apparent regravitation of Communist Tito into the Soviet orbit was highly perceptive, and displayed a rare insight into the subtleties of the new Kremlin approach to international relations.

By seeking to shed the most odious stigma attached to modern Communism, i.e., Stalinism, Russia purports to have seized the initiative in assuming a constructive, nonaggressive attitude toward the world's tensions...

Now that he was back in his old camp, with a certain stature of his own, he may not miss the dollars he will now lose. He knows that the U.S. will still find it necessary to talk to him and through him. But from now on, there will be an inevitable difference. Denying him dollars will itself solve little. A more fundamental response to Moscow's new calculated blurring of distinctions is to keep distinctions clear. Tito's return to Moscow...
