...below) given by the puppet Communist government maintained by Russian tanks in Budapest. The official announcement of the executions by the Hungarian government was made in a manner calculated to achieve maximum international publicity. It conceded that neither Nagy nor Maleter had confessed guilt, deliberately failed to give the date of their execution (which probably occurred only a few hours before issuance of the communique). Asked when the trial had taken place, Chief Prosecutor Geza Szenasi displayed what presumably passes in Communist circles for a nice sense of humor. ''Before the verdict," he grinned...
...flushed a covey of even odder birds. They were hermitically behind the times, but they had been living in high-rent Manhattan apartments rather than wilderness caves.

...Scholar Germain Bazin, 50, chief curator of the Louvre. In his profusely illustrated The Louvre (323 pp.; Abrams; $7.50), published last week in the U.S., Curator Bazin covers 341 key paintings from the 13th to the 19th century.

With these ghastly examples before him, Hero Hurst is naturally nervous when he goes out on his first date with a gentile girl and is only partly reassured to discover "how little difference there was between the" feel of a Jewish girl's thigh and that of a shickseh." He capitulates completely in his next encounter with a shickseh, marries her, fathers two sons and moves to a broad-minded suburb to live in the material bliss that is the reward of the truly assimilated. But the past will not down. A great deal of complicated, coincidental plotting brings...
