He did not want to risk stirring fresh hostility to his despised regime, was also embarrassed because he himself had served in Nagy's revolutionary government. But Boss Khrushchev ruled in favor of a show trial. The charge: treason. Nagy, befuddled and brainwashed after long internment at Sinaia, Rumania, has been transferred to Budapest's Fo Utca prison, is reportedly adjudged ready to "confess...
