Much of the verbal cyanide which blew around Yugoslav Communist Leader Tito during his famous quarrel with Stalin was manufactured in the propaganda laboratory of Hungarian Communist Leader Matyas Rakosi.

In September 1950 he grabbed at a foul tip and suffered a dislocation of his right thumb. That winter, the hot-water heater in his home blew up in his face. As the year wore on, Campy picked up a startling assortment of injuries: a split thumb from a foul ball hit by the Athletics' Eddie Joost in an exhibition game, a bruised hip (during a slide), a chipped elbow when Whitey Lockman of the Giants...
