Where were they taken? A 17-year-old girl deportee, sent back because she was ill, reported that she had been held with 1,500 other young Hungarians in a Soviet army barracks at Uzhgorod in the Ukraine. Two young boys who escaped from a camp in the woods in the same area turned up in Budapest with hollow cheeks, and heads shaved like Russian bezprizornye (waifs...

But the U.S. finished well behind Russia in the winter Olympics without any noticeably ill effects. Indeed, it seems unlikely that many countries would assume from an American Olympic loss that the U.S. is an ineffective world leader. If American officials would take the lead in ignoring the team aspects, the U.S. might even gain a propaganda victory of sorts, for the smaller countries would feel better, and America would be taking a significant step in promoting world brotherhood...
