...well known for his anti-Soviet views, was arrested last week for the fourth time in ten years. Ever since the 1965 publication of his scathingly critical travelogue, Moscow Summer, he has become used to playing a Kafkaesque role in his country's foreign policy. Whenever President Tito feels the need to placate the Kremlin publicly, he usually orders the arrest of Russia's least favorite Yugoslav...
...ports or protect the movements of Syrian and Egyptian warships from Israeli forces. What could be even more disruptive to East-West stability, Russia -despite détente-might dare to intervene in the turmoil in Yugoslavia that is expected to follow the death of the aging Josip Broz Tito.

More than 10,000 people crowded Tito Square in the Zone B town of Koper, some carrying signs reading, WHAT IS OURS WE DON'T GIVE...
...began to snake backward at the border crossings, as Yugoslav guards suddenly began punctilious examinations of every vehicle entering or leaving Zone B. After Italian and U.S. forces joined in NATO naval exercises off the Adriatic coast, Belgrade mustered its own armada in a countershow of force. Last week Tito lambasted both Italy and the U.S. for endangering the security of the area with their maneuvers...
