Inside the Bus. In such a quarrel, the compromised Imre Nagy was an embarrassing guest for the Yugoslavs. Tito sent Yugoslav Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs Dobrivoje Vidic to Budapest to arrange for the safe-conduct of Nagy and his party to their homes in Budapest. Vidic obtained written guarantees from the Kadar government-but not from the Russians. That evening a bus arrived at the bullet-scarred Yugoslav embassy, and the 44 Hungarians (including 16 women and 17 children) climbed in, accompanied by two Yugoslav diplomats.

Outside the Country. In the complicated game of rival intrigues and rival ambitions in the Communist world, it may be some time before anyone knows for sure whether Tito offered up Nagy to the Russians as his way of playing the game, and was mad not so much at Nagy's arrest as at the tactless way the Russians grabbed Nagy before he was even out of Yugoslav hands.

But now that the fabric of Stalin's empire was rent by Titoism plus destalinization, Old Iron Pants could point the finger at Khrushchev & Co. as a pack of blunderers. His new job was one which would enable him to do literally this, if so minded. Although functioning in part as a kind of auditor general's department, the Ministry of State Control means...
