Radio Budapest last week announced the arrest of nine men-including two Jesuit priests-for "justified suspicion of having prepared a plot." Chief among them was Father Laszlo Emodi, who in 1961 had been sentenced to seven years in prison for organizing religious instruction for children, but was set free last year in a general amnesty. Two days after the Radio Budapest announcement, the Hungarian Supreme Court sentenced five more persons to jail for "conspiracy against the state and organizing an illegal party...
Happy enough to be outside the cells, Hungarian intellectuals, traditionally an enthusiastically undisciplined bunch, avoided provoking fresh trouble; for one thing, they know that Soviet tanks are always ready to rumble into the city. As Laszlo Nemeth, a respected non-Communist author, puts it: "We Hungarians live today in a new apartment block which many people find ugly. It became clear in 1956 that the block cannot be demolished. While we wait behind the façade for its transformation into something better, let us at least make our own flats as habitable...

But under the expert leadership of Conductor Laszlo Halasz, and with a fine lead performance from Tenor Giuseppe Campora, the opera emerged at least in parts as the melodic masterpiece that the French have come to regard it (the Paris Opera-Comique has it in its regular repertory, as does La Scala). Outstanding were the fine tenor aria...
...than he has to, has been almost unbeatable ever since he won the 1,500 meters in record time at the 1956 Olympics. Aussie Elliott was casually planning to race him right off the track. Neither Herb nor his coach showed any concern about the presence of Hungarian Refugee Laszlo Tabori...
