Time Magazine MILESTONES

Josip Broz Tito, 87. Wily, autocratic, ruthless and more than a little vain. Tito effectively ruled Yugoslavia's ethnic crazy quilt for nearly 35 years. Breaking with Stalin in 1948, he fashioned an unorthodox Communism streaked with touches of capitalism ("self-management"). In the 1950s he helped found the "nonaligned" movement, to which most Third World nations now profess allegiance.
