...Play's the Thing (adapted from the Hungarian of Ferenc Molnar by P. G. Wodehouse; produced by Gilbert Miller, in association with James Russo and Michael Ellis) first reached Broadway-when Molnar was the thing-in the mid-'20s.

Nagy had already symbolically established kinship with the U.S. by donning an American Indian headdress on a recent visit...
Instead of making a united stand against Communist domination or refusing to take office as long as the Red Army dictated government policies, they allowed themselves to be cut down one by one. President Zoltan Tildy, for instance, hung on even after Premier Ferenc Nagy was exiled in a coup that combined ideology with kidnapping (TIME, June 9).
