...annual report- "to examine and reflect on some of the basic problems in foreign affairs." Although Fellows are regularly accepted from the U.S. armed services, State Department, and other agencies, many foreign Fellows are recruited. Ben Brown, director of the Fellows program, said that the Center has had a Yugoslav Fellow and has tried to attract Fellows from Rumania, Poland, and Czechoslovakia. According to Vernon, the Center still has an invitation outstanding to a Russian official to be a Fellow...
Hyland's comments on the Fellows' program at the Center are as creative and as self-indulgent as his remarks on the DAS. Over the years, the Fellows of the Center have spanned every shade of ideology: Nkrumah Socialism, Pentagon militarism, AID pacifism, Indian neutralism, Swedish formalism, and Yugoslav pragmatism.

The notion ironically harks back to the freely given "Dubček shifts" that workers put in during their brief springtime of freedom. Otherwise, the occupation regime's tinkering with the economy...
DUBROVNIK (through Aug. 25). The rugged scenic beauty of this Yugoslav seaport offers a feast for the eye while the ear attunes to the sounds of the Amadeus Quartet and the Zagreb Philharmonic. A glittering array of artists, including Soprano Martina Arroyo, Cellist Mstislav Rostropovich, Violinist Isaac Stern, and Pianists Sviatoslav Richter and Alexis Weissenberg will all be on hand...
