Communist Boss Janos Kadar, installed as a puppet by Khrushchev, is largely responsible. He wooed and won his suspicious people with small doses of political freedom and larger dollops of luxury. No sooner had he taken power in 1956 than bananas appeared in the markets for the first time since...
...cited the recent U.S.-endorsed military coup in South Viet Nam. "If this Viet war goes sour, Viet Nam could be a hot issue next year. If it goes well, it won't be. It's strange to me, when we are fawning over Tito, catering to Kadar, accommodating Khrushchev, we don't even have the decency to express our sympathy to a family which was a real foe of Communism. There is a human factor here in Mme. Nhu's losing her husband and brother-in-law, and we didn't show decency...

He has granted amnesty to thousands of political prisoners and encouraged refugees who fled in 1956 to return with free pardons; today the government claims that more than one-third of 1956's 200,000 refugees have come back home. Worker membership in the Communist Party is not a sure guarantee of success. "We are not going to give red bloods the same privilege once enjoyed by bluebloods," says Kadar...
