...only fitting in a nation that prides itself on scientific social organization, the rampage was carefully controlled. Early in the week the Soviet press published meticulous accounts of the damage -mainly broken windows-inflicted on the Soviet embassy in Bonn by German students protesting the execution of Hungarian Revolutionaries Imre Nagy and Pal Maleter. Next day 2,000 Russian students and workers appeared before the West German embassy on Moscow's Bolshoi Gruzinskaya Street and began to hurl stones, chunks of concrete and bottles of purple ink. By the time they dispersed two hours later, the ink-stained...
...days later, after the Soviet press described the noisy demonstration staged by Hungarian refugees outside the Park Avenue offices of the Soviet U.N. Delegation in Manhattan, U.S. embassy officials sighed and phoned the Soviet Foreign Ministry to demand additional police protection. Sure enough, two hours later, another 2,000 Muscovites turned up before the ten-story U.S. embassy building. This time, however, the "rioters" contented themselves with waving placards and gentle shouts of "fascists" and "dogs." When one youth climbed aboard a passing truck and began to distribute its cargo of bricks among the demonstrators, a policeman intervened, insisted that...

In Geneva last week the International Labor Organization expelled Communist Hungary's delegates. In the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, the local Communist branch demanded that the national party publicly condemn the executions, and even Prime Minister Nehru felt obliged to chime in with a "most distressing...
...matter of political practice-particularly in the Communist world-leaders of unsuccessful revolutions could expect to end up on the gallows or before the firing squad. Nagy and Maleter might have been quietly executed within a few weeks or months of their seizure, as hundreds of lesser known Hungarian rebels were. But the Russians waited for 18 months and then brutally proclaimed their deed, giving the executions the deliberate quality of a slap in the face to the non-Communist world and of a mighty fist thrust in the faces of the satellites...
...Bubbling Pot. To confirm this thesis, Russia's Czechoslovak stooges all last week were ominously baying that Imre Nagy (rhymes with dodge) had spent the last days of the Hungarian revolt "plotting in the Yugoslav embassy" in Budapest. But the fact seemed to be that Tito, like Nagy and Maleter, was not the real focus of Russian wrath but merely the symbol of a problem that has bedeviled the Soviets ever since the death of Stalin...
