...sign of diminishing, and continued to fascinate the non-Communist world with fresh tales of old skeletons in Communist closets. In one announcement, Red China took full credit for forcing a weak-kneed Khrushchev ("who had decided to abandon Socialist Hungary to counterrevolution") to send Russian tanks into Budapest and crush the 1956 uprising. Peking radio also made an unprecedented reference to important factional disputes within the top ranks of the Chinese Communist Party. Khrushchev was accused of openly voicing support for "antiparty elements" in China. Western experts believe the Chinese "elements" Khrushchev was supporting were military men who opposed...
Parlor Talk. The Juilliard is now 17 years old, and its reputation is safely established. Only the aging and conservative Budapest String Quartet approaches Juilliard's mastery of the quartet repertory, but in modern music Juilliard's technique and understanding are unique. The nature of the string quartet inevitably suggests a conversation, and the Juilliard players have an agility and intelligence that pitch and color the tone of each voice to enrich the spirit of the composer. Their Mozart is 18th century parlor talk, Beethoven can sound like stentorian and political argument, Bartok and Schoenberg are full...
...since Soviet tanks crushed the Hungarian Freedom Fighters' revolt in 1956 has the U.S. had an ambassador in Budapest. But for several months the U.S. has been negotiating toward more extensive diplomatic relations with Hungary.

...HUNGARY is hospitable to Western in fluence, as long as it does not offend its rulers by being openly antiCommunist. Budapest's relatively relaxed ways are largely the result of efforts by Premier Janos Kadar to erase the bloody stains of 1956, when he personally called in Soviet tanks to crush the revolution. Finding that a lighter yoke yields greater economic prosperity and less political opposition, he has given key managerial jobs to nonparty technicians-and fired inefficient Red bureaucrats. In Budapest coffeehouses the twist has given way to the bossa nova and the Madison. Restrictions against travel have...
...Rome, Pope Paul VI sent a message to Hungarian bishops announcing the expectation of "good news," a hint that Josef Cardinal Mindszenty may soon be allowed by the Reds to leave the U.S. legation, where he has been holed up for almost seven years under 24-hour watch by Budapest police. After the revolution of 1848 swept the Continent, Hungarian Patriot Lajos Kossuth said that many people thought his countrymen were the "reddest republicans in Europe." Today, Hungary's people are fast becoming Europe's most republican Reds...
