...seedy apartment house in Belgrade. On a balcony across the street a cameraman waits all day. A police car stands constantly at the curb, and lounging detectives peer into the faces of all who enter.

...years ago Party Philosopher Djilas dared to criticize the political rigidity of the Yugoslav Communist Party and the loose morals of its hierarchy.

His punishment might have been worse.

The most ardent of them were rounded up, along with a motley crew of anarchists, royalists, diehard Yugoslav Catholics and Cominform Communists, and shipped off to Corsica for a week's vacation-food, wine and sightseeing-at France's expense. A small army of about 15,000 police, plainclothesmen, helmeted Gardes Republicaines and firemen were deployed over Paris to help keep...
