Tripp's office was created only four years ago, after the Yugoslav earthquake at Skoplje, which killed 1,011 and revealed an arteriosclerotic lack of coordination in American relief response. Nonetheless, Mr. Catastrophe follows an honorable tradition...
...youngest leaders in the Communist stable and the party's oldest war horse met last week to create more worries for the Kremlin. Rumanian President Nicolae Ceauseşcu, 49, and Yugoslav President Josip Broz Tito, 75, first donned loden coats and tramped with shotguns through Tito's slushy game reserve in Croatia, loaded for deer.

Last week winners of the Czech Artists Trade Union lottery got free trips to the Hermitage in Leningrad and the Louvre in Paris. One Yugoslav physical culture group's lottery is offering hard-to-get Peugeots and trips to the Winter Olympics in Grenoble, France, plus U.S.-made exercise equipment as consolation prizes. And homeward-bound Yugoslav workers stop by sidewalk Daj-Dam ("You give-I'll give") stands for a while-U-wait...
