Radio Budapest last week announced the arrest of nine men-including two Jesuit priests-for "justified suspicion of having prepared a plot." Chief among them was Father Laszlo Emodi, who in 1961 had been sentenced to seven years in prison for organizing religious instruction for children, but was set free last year in a general amnesty.

But the university promptly reopened the dispute by threatening to discipline four student leaders, including Savio, who had organized the demonstration around the police car. Shouted Savio: "This factory does unjust things, and we'll have to cause the wheels to grind to a halt." Then he led the investment of Sproul Hall...
