Vladimir Dedijer has the style of a man who, though 51 and well-known, has never felt either old or "famous." At a party after his speech, the former Partisan colonel, Yugoslav delegate to the United Nations and high government leader exuberantly embraced old friends, sat on the floor, and drank beer with students twenty-five years his junior. A large man with a great shock of black hair, he looked like he would have been at home in the American Senate of the last century, trading stares with Webster and Calhoun. His energy appeared inexhaustable; the roles of journalist...
...meantime, Dedijer the historian and Yugoslav patriot has had to come to terms with revolution in his own land. After a brilliant record as Partisan officer and member of the Central Committee of the League of Yugoslav, he was expelled from the party in 1955 for defending Milovan Djilas' right to speak. He also lost his chair in modern history at Belgrade University, and from 1960 to the present he taught and wrote at British and American universities. Recently returned to official favor, he is going back to Yugoslavia to begin a study of the Partisan...
...members of a pro-Peking faction working against Bulgaria's Russian protectors. They even planted a story that General Anev had fled to sanctuary in Albania, Red China's nearby ally.

Imperfections & Cares. With 40 films and a brilliant career on the Paris stage already behind her, Moreau has been La Moreau to the French for years. But up until very recently, her American audience ran to cinemaphiles and espresso drinkers-the crowd that goes to Yugoslav film festivals, the people who liked 8½. Her great films-The Lovers, La Notte, Jules and Jim-played mostly in art houses, and some of her films found no U.S. distributor at all. Now, in a turn of taste that is as encouraging as it is surprising, Moreau is everywhere: opposite Burt Lancaster...
Yugoslavia (6,000,000 Catholics) offers considerably brighter prospects. The regime has abandoned its intransigent anti-Catholicism since the death in 1960 of Alojzije Cardinal Stepinac, churches are open and full of worshipers, a thriving religious press circulates freely. Yugoslav bishops easily gained travel permits to attend the Vatican Council or make their normal ad limina visits to the Pope. Last December, the Yugoslav Communist League Congress dropped its ban on religious practice by party members. A number of government officials formally congratulated Archbishop Franjo Seper of Zagreb after the announcement that he would be made a cardinal at Pope...
