...Soviets agreed to turn over the premiership to Nagy, a walrus- mustachioed intellectual; the hated Gero was replaced by Janos Kadar. Nagy tried to slow the revolution, but the street crowds kept applying pressure. He agreed to take noncommunists into his government. Going further, he formally asked the Soviets to leave, announced Hungary's withdrawal from the Warsaw Pact and asked the U.N. to guarantee his country's neutrality. On Oct. 29, it was announced that the Soviets had begun withdrawing from Budapest...
...videotapes, the elegance tempered by big beer-hall ashtrays, overflowing with butts, on seemingly every table. The car that the police most often vandalized was a white Mercedes. Although his manner is earthy and direct and his short, dumpy frame and mustache bring to mind a small, playful walrus, Havel still has a touch of the patrician. He is accustomed to center stage and rarely brooks disagreement, even from friends.

The song selection is bafflingly random, omitting seminal and important songs like "I Am the Walrus" or "Instant Karma" and including less noteworthy and more obscure titles like "How" and "Love." All the songs, even "Imagine" itself, are abbreviated, with the curious exception of "Twist and Shout," which Lennon didn't compose. Beatles producer George Martin, who expertly handled sound-mixing chores on virtually all the band's recordings and soundtracks over the last 25 years, should be strung...
