Your making a composite picture of a motley crew of trigger-happy poets, callow youths, delinquent teenagers, gun molls and other Hungarian riffraff and trying to foist them off on us Americans as the "Man of the Year" is a piece of journalism that is not only unique but should stand out as the acme of effrontery...
...factors that gave the Hungarian revolution its first success was the low morale of the hated AVH, the state security police. All the Kremlin talk of coexistence, and Russia's downgrading of Stalinist police methods, had made the AVH feel that they might be sold out at any time by their Moscow bosses. Now a new Hungarian security-police force, composed of old AVH stalwarts, diehard Communists and trade-union toughies, to the number of 10,000, has been formed, and every effort is being made to make them feel that not only do they have the backing...
...coal mines. Wildcat stoppages are being punished by fines, and January pay envelopes are lean. ("Anyone who was on strike in December, even for two days, will see the difference in his pay.")

...onetime $18-a-week Trenton, N.J. disk jockey and son of a Hungarian saloonkeeper, Kovacs has been a sort of utility infielder for all three networks. He is not a refugee from other places, but that rare being, a home-grown product of TV-and one of the few fresh and lasting performers in the business. Yet his cultivated madness, often abetted by his wife, Singer Edie Adams, has been delighting and annoying audiences only irregularly and at odd hours since he first leered onscreen seven years ago. Neither Kovacs nor his employer, NBC, seems able to explain why there...
