...Communist heroes go these days, a slim, hatchet-faced Hungarian army lieutenant named Sandor Iharos is a singular exception. For one thing, he is not a Communist Party member. All he knows about Marxism, he says, he learned by rote in school. And as a soldier he fights strictly from a desk. All Sandor really has to do is run, and he does that so well that he now holds five world records (from 1,500 to 5,000 meters). In sports-happy Hungary, excitement boils any time he shucks his sweat pants and gets to work, for Sandor...
...rewriting of party history was still to come in the satellites. As one of the first acts of revision, the Hungarian Communist Eugene Varga last week wrote a laudatory article for Pravda on Bela Kun, the famous Hungarian revolutionary who ran a Soviet in Budapest for 133 bloody days in 1919.

Courage, Inc. was started by Dr. Camille Kereszturi Cayley, a Hungarian-born pediatrician who led an active life until, in 1952, she fell twelve feet from a porch while sawing a tree branch.

For a while it looked as if three expert players could bring off the tender, sophisticated, 25-year-old Hungarian fantasy about a "little glowworm" usherette (Julie Harris) who wants to be a good fairy to a highly moral but impoverished lawyer (Walter Slezak), is pursued by an immensely wealthy but engagingly unethical Lothario (Cyril Ritchard), and winds up in the arms of her own true love. But in a quarter of a century...
...Hollywood, Hungarian Charmer Zsa Zsa Gabor, thrice-wed (to Turkish Senator Burhan Belge, Hotelman Conrad Hilton, Cinemactor George Sanders), proudly confided: "I have never married a man I didn't like." Then she told how chummy she still is with her three ex-mates. She is working on a movie (Death of a Scoundrel) with Sanders, and "he phones me all the time." As for the other two: "Connie Hilton built that hotel of his in Istanbul because of my suggestion. So at least Turkey has a monument of my affection for their Senator...
