{Albania against the World}[14th March 1970]


[Redbook1:130][19700314:2330]{Albania against the World}[14th March 1970]

Saturday 14th March 1970
11.30 pm

B, who I think works with W.H.O., is said to have told this story: at a meeting of member countries, the delegate for Albania rose to his feet and and made a long and somewhat pompous speech in the course of which he stated that together, the populations of his country and of the peoples Republic of China comprised more than half the total population of the world.

            And not one of those delegates dared to laugh.
