While in the Middle East, he came to know Nasser well, and predicted -a year before it happened-that the colonel would emerge as the real power in Egypt. Bell was at Belgrade's Zemun Airport to witness the arrival of Russia's Nikita Khrushchev and Nikolai Bulganin; he reported the visit that drew world attention to Mr. K., vodka for vodka. Later, when Khrushchev made the sensational but top-secret Kremlin speech that demolished Stalin, Bell was in Moscow and got wind of it. During two tours of duty in Bonn, he covered the Berlin Wall...
Shortly after 10 o'clock one morning last week, a frail man in a light grey suit stepped out of a Soviet-built IL-14 transport onto the tarmac of Belgrade's Zemun Airport. Dutifully, the visitor surrendered himself to a welcoming bearhug from his stocky, sun-bronzed host, accepted bouquets from four dewy-eyed young Pioneers, and acknowledged the salute of a snappy, blue-uniformed honor guard. Then Poland's Wladyslaw Gomulka and Yugoslavia's Marshal Josip Broz Tito headed off across the Yugoslav capital in a motorcade whose first three cars were a Rolls...

At hand was Cover Artist Ernest Hamlin Baker's latest portrait of Tito. Prophetically, the portrait shows the great stone face that Tito turned on the Russian delegation as Khrushchev made his abject recital. Bonn Bureau Chief James Bell, who watched the incredible scene on the newly asphalted apron...
...Marshal Josip Broz Tito, the heretic who got away with it, this was a moment to savor. Splendidly adorned-braided cap, sky-blue military blouse with ribbons, red-striped slacks-he drove out to Belgrade's Zemun Airport and waited. Seven years before, Russia's masters had kicked Yugoslavia out of the Cominform, reviled Tito as "traitor," "fascist," "spy and murderer," urged his people to revolt against him, harassed his borders, shut off his country's trade. Dictator Tito, an old hand at intrigue himself, survived it all. Now, unrepentant and unintimidated, master in his own land...
