...Budapest, "Andrassy ut 60," an address usually spoken in whispers, means what "Lyubyanka" means in Moscow: it is th.e headquarters of the Communist secret police. Boss of Andrassy ut 60 was Peter Gabor, onetime tailor's apprentice, who became a journeyman Communist and got his final training in Moscow. Gabor reached the zenith of his career at the trial of Cardinal Mindszenty, where he produced evidence supposedly showing the cardinal's connection with U.S. diplomats. Under Gabor's regime, Andrassy ut 60, whose windowboxes were always bright with geraniums, became dreaded for merciless beatings and torture...
...right, so I call a girl at Radcliffe. The movie at the UT stinks. You go to town and already it's a big production. All I want to do is throw a little talk around--casual talk. And private.

The two were taken to the forbidding grey stone pile at 60 Andrassy Ut which had once been headquarters for Hungary's branch of Hitler's Gestapo and is now used by the Hungarian version of the Soviet MVD. Three hours later questioning began...
Next day the Hungarian Communist-controlled cabinet issued an order seizing MAORT on charges of "economic sabotage." The day after, Ruedemann and Bannantine were notified that they had been expelled from Hungary. In a fast car, police took them from 60 Andrassy Ut to the Austrian border, unceremoniously ordered them over the line. It was the seventh day since their arrest. Six days later they were in Washington, reporting to the U.S. Government while wondering what could be done about the $25 million that American shareholders had lost in MAORT's seizure...
