Gallo has been World's senior researcher since 1973. She came to the U.S. from Hungary as an eighth-grader in 1957, but she still speaks Hungarian and follows events in Eastern Europe avidly. "Having lived through the Hungarian revolution," she says, "and handled our stories on the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968, I've naturally been haunted by this situation, its parallels with the past, as well as its differences." For the cover she culled through stacks of files in TIME'S library, helping to round out the story's political and historical background. Kohan normally covers Religion...

Popescu's two-hour, 300-mile hedgehop from the Rumanian town of Arad to Feldbach, an Austrian village ten miles inside the Austro-Hungarian frontier, in a single-engine Antonov2 biplane was almost flight-plan perfect.
