Hungary's Deputy Premier and Agriculture Minister. Ranking only thirteenth in the Politburo in 1951, his rise has been spectacular and he is now the youngest of the top Communist leaders. In his premiership speech, Hegedus laid down the new Moscow line for freedom-bordering Hungary: 1) tighter discipline for factory workers, 2) speedier Sovietization of agriculture, 3) mutual-assistance treaties with the Soviet Union and satellites.

In 1904 he broke down and printed the first story about Ty Cobb. Long after his spectacular career was over, Cobb confessed to Rice that he wrote and sent all the messages himself. Once, when President Harding invited him to Washington to play golf, Rice brought along his pal Ring Lardner. The President, a little puzzled, asked why Long Islander Lardner was there. "I want...
