...Gabor, doing a TV guest shot with Johnny Carson, was zeroing in on her targets for Tonight: Hollywood Chronicler Sheilah Graham and Hearst Society Scribe Suzy, who often give Zsa Zsa the benefit of a clout.

I'll spot her ten years. My nose is the one I was born with, and I've never had my face lifted...

"He who is not against us is with us," said Kadar in late 1961. Such relative leniency in a Communist state at last...
Happy enough to be outside the cells, Hungarian intellectuals, traditionally an enthusiastically undisciplined bunch, avoided provoking fresh trouble; for one thing, they know that Soviet tanks are always ready to rumble into the city. As Laszlo Nemeth, a respected non-Communist author, puts it: "We Hungarians live today in a new apartment block which many people find ugly. It became clear in 1956 that the block cannot be demolished. While we wait behind the façade for its transformation into something better, let us at least make our own flats as habitable...
