...Croats, as it turned out, were not satisfied. Encouraged by extremist exile groups in West Germany and Eastern Europe, many Croats continued to accuse the central government of taking away too much of the republic's earnings from foreign tourists and giving the money to less prosperous Yugoslav regions. Some Croatian nationalists even demanded a separate Croatian army, a separate airline and separate membership in the United Nations...
Whatever was happening behind the scenes, the U.N. General Assembly soon reverted to its favorite public activity, speechmaking. The Chinese, all neatly uniformed in Mao tunics, sat in stoic silence as delegate after delegate droned on about a Soviet proposal for an all-nation summit conference on disarmament.

"He is a little model," says his tailor, Michel Sapone. "I have made him velvet robes, kilts, jackets embroidered in the Yugoslav manner. I assure you, he wears them with majesty." But all desire to be public, to act in front of the camera, is gone. The group of friends and colleagues has dwindled, for Picasso has outlived them. Matisse, Braque, Gris, Léger, Cocteau, Diaghilev, Gide, Apollinaire, Max Jacob, Eluard...
