On the Soviet execution list (TIME, June 30), alongside Imre Nagy, stood the name of Miklos Gimes, ex-Stalinist journalist who became one of Hungary's leading anti-Reds. Countless others are in prison, notably Hungary's top novelist, Tibor Dery, 64; his latest book, Niki, the Story of a Dog, which is really a quiet indictment of the police state, will be published in the U.S. this fall.

It is a gruesome caricature of human nature at its most bestial; yet step by step, Reporter Michener has made the incredible monster a believable horror. The unprintable acts attributed by witnesses to Donath lead Michener to quote with approval the verdict of "one of America's finest and gentlest newspapermen," who said: "I was in Budapest at the time and although I believe that revengeful death accomplishes little, I devoutly believe that the human race would have...
