...strange but warming experience. In Vienna, the U.S. Consulate staff processed the stream of Hungarians round the clock; even Pennsylvania's Democrat Francis Walter, co-author of the restrictive McCarran-Walter Immigration Act, returned from an inspection trip along the Austro-Hungarian border (where he saw a rebel shot down) to demand that the U.S. quota of arriving refugees be raised from 5,000 to 17,000. The Army reached fast, far and wide to find GIs of Hungarian descent, to include them in a special detachment mobilized to provide food, transportation and other services for Hungarians arriving...
...inspirer of Eugene O'Neill when the playwright's work was first produced on the Cape in 1916. The elder Cook, writes O'Neill, was "always enthusiastic, vital, impatient with everything that smacked of falsity--he represented the spirit of revolt." Cook fils is also something of a rebel. When Cook pere died, a legacy to Harl provided for a Harvard education. About 1930, Harl came to Harvard--for three days--and then packed off with his inherited loot to Europe, where he bought a motorcycle. He claims some sort of record for his brief University career, and has scarcely...

Two Russian tanks were set on fire by youths with gas bombs in Bajcsy-Zsilinszky Street. On Izabella Street grenades thrown from windows scattered a squad of marching Russian infantry. A few minutes later tanks and artillery came rolling down the street, shot up the whole neighborhood. In one house the Russians found the 13-year...
Kadar's last resort was to starve Budapest out of hiding. Food was offered, in exchange for surrendered arms. The rebels, who had done no looting during their days of pride, now began looting shops and department stores. Food trains halted by the Russians outside Budapest were hijacked. Hundreds of radio sets were taken from one factory, presumably so that the rebel underground could listen to the outside world. Monitors reported the faint voice of a Hungarian radio "ham" calling: "Give us news! Say something! Give us news. We ask for news...
