...magic chemistry of courage, anger and desperation that makes men wager their lives for an ideal fired Hungary into revolution last week. Unarmed, unorganized, unaided from outside, the Hungarian people rolled back the tide of Communism. They overthrew a government. They took on the Soviet army. In six days the Hungarian people made history-six days that shook the world. After the week's events, the Communist empire could never be the same. The rest of the world could only look on with a catch in its heart, while thousands who must have known they could expect no outside...

The Hungarian capital is easy to reach by hydrofoil on the Danube from Vienna and has a reputation for being more hospitable to Americans than other Communist-bloc cities. A room at the Budapest Hyatt or Hilton starts at $50; an elegant meal at Gundel, the city's romantic garden restaurant, costs around $30 a person. Westerners get a kick out of tours of the Puszta region, where they feel at home on the range watching Hungarian cowboys rounding up cattle. With...
