...WANT the world to know there can be no compromise." So ran one of the last messages scribbled by Premier Imre Nagy in the bloody days of November 1956, when Soviet tanks were stamping out the last flames of the Hungarian revolt, and Nagy himself was a subject of a TIME cover that never ran (see cut). Last week the world learned that there had indeed been no compromise-either on the part of Imre Nagy or on the part of Nikita Khrushchev. The reasons for Nagy's obduracy in not confessing before his execution were simple and heroic...
HUNGARY and the Middle East have a way of coming alive together, just as they did when the revolt in Budapest and the attack on Suez coincided. Last week the U.N. was once again moving in observers to ensure Middle East peace, and there was talk of whether the U.S. might have to go to the rescue in Lebanon. The U.S. was not eager to: it was in fact the fifth and least attractive of remedies. See FOREIGN NEWS, Five Stages to Peace...
...executions of ex-Premier Imre Nagy, General Pal Maleter and two other lesser leaders of the Hungarian revolt were in wanton defiance of public pledges (see below) given by the puppet Communist government maintained by Russian tanks in Budapest.

In Montevideo students hurled a gasoline bomb at the Soviet embassy, and Russian missions in New Zealand, Bonn, Istanbul and Copenhagen were all stoned. (As a countermeasure, the Russians permitted a carefully stage-managed crowd to break seven windows in the Danish embassy in Moscow...
...Stalinism. Burma's Premier U Nu called them "a horrible act." The Indonesian Socialist daily Pedoman drew a local moral: "We cannot fool around with the idea of cooperation with the Reds." In India, where Nehru's equivocation blunted the impact of the revolt itself, there was almost unanimous condemnation of Moscow. Said one influential Indian in unwonted tribute to a man most Indians regard as a stumbling block to peace: "The Nagy execution obviously justifies the firm stand John Foster Dulles takes against Communism...
