...Gaulle at Paris' Notre Dame Cathedral in 1970. In attendance was a comparably vast assemblage of statesmen and royalty. It was a reflection of Tito's unique global role that his funeral attracted leaders from both East and West blocs, and from the Third World, in almost equal numbers. Official mourners came from 123 countries: four Kings, 32 Presidents and other heads of state, 22 Prime Ministers, more than 100 secretaries or representatives of Communist or workers parties. Tanjug, the official Yugoslav news agency, summed it up simply: "The summit of mankind...
...Koliševski, a Macedonian and longtime Tito loyalist, chaired Cabinet and other government meetings. Koliševski was acting as one of the first beneficiaries of the "collective leadership" plan incorporated into Yugoslavia's 1974 constitution. This plan established a state presidency of eight regional and presumably equal members, who are supposed to rotate as chairmen each year. Tito also set up a companion 24-member system for the party Presidium, the highest body of the Yugoslav League of Communists. Its chairmanship is currently occupied by Doronjski, a Serb from Vojvodina province, whose term runs until October...
...CCSR displayed an equal ignorance about realities in South Africa in its argument not to support an IBM shareholder resolution forbidding computer sales to the South African government.

Past experience shows the government orders computers for "harmless institutions" and then passes them on to places like population control centers...
...face quivering with anger, eyes betraying his fear, stands a state trooper, leather boots up to the calf, white riot helmet, gas mask on his belt. On the other side, a demonstrator, mouth set in righteous defiance, shoulders hunching forward and back almost at once, spunk and fright in equal parts. The motorcycle helmet, the gas mask on his belt too. In between the two of them, eight feet of chain link and three strands of barbed wire...
...militants who had seized the U.S. embassy in Tehran declared with equal bravado: "We do not trade plotters, saboteurs and domestic mercenaries for the subversive misdeeds of hirelings outside our borders." Their advice to the Iranian hostages in London: "Do not fear martyrdom. Resist, and victory will be yours." Similarly, Foreign Minister Ghotbzadeh observed that "anyone who has died for Islam goes directly to heaven." After talking to the London gunmen by telephone, Ghotbzadeh rejected their ransom demand and threatened to have one of their imprisoned comrades executed for every member of the London embassy staff who was harmed...
