...when the Vatican made a cardinal of Archbishop Aloysius Stepinac -a man long persecuted by the Tito regime and still confined to his native village-Tito broke relations with the Holy See and sent the papal charge d'affaires packing.

The churchmen came, smiled, registered for the nth time some old complaints, but agreed to join a church-government commission to study religious problems.

...Yugoslavs have not forgotten Nazi brutalities during the war, and West Germany distrusts any Communist regime, however anti-Russian it may be. But trade between the two countries (e.g., German machinery for Yugoslav metals) is flourishing.

Under his wand, the greatly diverse Yugoslav people have submerged their peculiar cultural and racial differences into a proud nationalist feeling. Yet they still keep their language and practice old customs in the antonomous provinces. With the possible exception of Trieste, Tito directs his brand of nationalism to domestic construction and economic rehabilitation...
