...diplomats and their 16 dependents, life in Budapest is grey enough. They are often followed; their employees are often questioned and jailed. The Communist regime in Hungary is angered at the U.S. for steadfastly refusing to appoint a minister to the puppet regime, for trying to unseat Hungary's U.N. delegation following the 1956 revolt, and for giving continued asylum to Josef Cardinal Mindszenty in the U.S. legation in Budapest.

On the allies' side, the phenomenon was the emergence of Western Europe, through Marshall Plan recovery and its own industry, as a hopeful, prospering showcase of what free men could do. At Budapest, in October and November 1956, Hungarian freedom fighters, workers, students, soldiers proved the Communist puppet government to be a hollow sham, reveled in five days of freedom, looked to the U.S. and the U.N. for help. The U.S. had no plan of action, and the revolt was smashed, but with...
