His release along with his fellow bishops was obviously designed to provide a favorable image for a new government faced with public unrest over economic troubles. It also stirred hope again that Cardinal Mindszenty might soon leave his lonely exile in the U.S. legation in Budapest. For in Prague to hear the news of Beran's freedom was Hungary's Premier Janos Kadar, the Red satellite leader who seems most eager to reach some new form of concord with the church...
