...member National Assembly voted unanimously by a show of hands to oust Zhivkov and to replace him with Petar Mladenov, who took over from Zhivkov as party chief last week. Deputies praised Mladenov for his "enthusiasm" for perestroika, Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev's reform program...
...Soviets have also launched a "peace offensive," aimed specifically at driving a wedge between the U.S. and its Western European allies. Last week Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko and Bulgarian Foreign Minister Petar Mladenov called for a joint NATO-Warsaw Pact "conference on military detente and disarmament in Europe." If NATO's approval last December of a U.S. proposal to deploy new medium-range nuclear weapons in Europe could only be canceled, said the two Communist Foreign Ministers, then talks could begin on reducing a comparable Soviet missile force...
...Minneapolis Tribune opened onto the sneering image of one of my four traveling Yugoslavs. I dredged the forgotten picture from the bottom of my pack and the pair seemed to mirror each other right down to the cut of their clothes.

...slapped into jail in 1956 for his sizzling censures of the regime. There he has languished loquaciously for almost a decade, fearlessly issuing criticism, history and fiction about life in Yugoslavia (Conversations with Stalin, The New Class). This book, completed in 1959, is the first detailed biography of Petar II Petrović Njegoš, Prince-Bishop (from 1830 to 1851) of Djilas' native Montenegro, and Serbia's greatest poet. Njegoš is severely out of phase with Djilas' usually remarkable work, however. It is turgid in style and parochial in scope. Even in the U.S., where there...
