...study the lengthy proposals in detail, initial reaction of their U.N. delegates was receptive and even warily favorable. "A very positive statement," said the ambassador of one radical African state. "A tour de force," commented an Asian diplomat. The tone of the session mellowed enough for Yugoslav Foreign Minister Milos Minic to declare that "points of contact" were emerging between rich and poor. India's Foreign Minister Y.B. Chavan talked soothingly of confronting problems rather than confronting each other. A similar mood of cooperation was evident in Washington at the joint annual meeting of the IMF and the World...

Jailing Mihajlov might also be a sop to the Soviets, whose attitude toward Yugoslavia will be extremely important in the post-Tito era (TIME, Oct. 21). For a decade, Mihajlov has been the Kremlin's least favorite Yugoslav. His 1965 travelogue, Moscow Summer, was scathingly critical of the Soviet police state. Kremlin leaders were so angered by it that they pressured Belgrade to prosecute Mihajlov for "defaming a friendly power." Since then he has been tried three times and has served 3½ years in prison.
