...that liberalization was a failure and that it was time to revert to a hard line with the satellites. He may have been pushed to this conclusion, but on the record of his career of reversing himself, he was capable of reaching it on his own. In true Communist fashion he chose to serve notice of his decision not in a proclamation but in action-the execution of Nagy, Maleter & Co. Nor did anyone in the Communist world miss the point. Poland's Gomulka, described by his associates as "broken and bitter," saw no one for hours after...

The original intent, outlined by American Federation of Arts Director Harris K.
