Whatever appears to be against the Book of Mormon is going to be overturned at some time in the future. So we can be pretty open minded.-charity 3/7/07
MASH quotes
I peeked in the back [of the Bible] Frank, the Devil did it.
I avoid church religiously.
This isn't one of my sermons, I expect you to listen.

It was in the top 5. I don't know captain and tennille, who got the top hit so I skipped over them.

It was in 1956 and later.
October 23 – The Hungarian revolution breaks out against the pro-Soviet government. Hungary attempts to leave the Warsaw Pact.
October 26 – Red Army troops invade Hungary.
November 4 – More Soviet troops invade Hungary to crush a revolt that started on October 23. Thousands are killed, more are wounded, and nearly a quarter million leave the country.
November 14 – Fighting ends in Hungary.
Hungarian university students meet at Budapest October 22 and put together a list of 16 demands while expressing solidarity with the Polish rebels. They post the petition during the night on trees and walls and at tram stops throughout the city, and make plans to present their demands to the minister of internal affairs, who is also the head of the secret police. Students mob Bem Square beginning at 4:30 in the afternoon of October 23 as the ministry of internal affairs retracts its denial of permission to hold a rally, truckloads of workers arrive, and the crowd moves toward Parliament Square two miles away as its numbers swell to more than 100,000 men and women demanding democratic government, the return of former premier Imre Nagy to power, withdrawal of Soviet troops, and the release of Jozsef Cardinal Mindszenty, who has been held in solitary confinement since the end of 1948. Imre Nagy is restored as premier October 24; the Stalinist head of the Communist Party Ernö Gerö is succeeded October 25 by János Kádár, 44, but the revolt begins to spread across Hungary. Marshal Zhukov orders occupation of Hungary after a long debate in the Politburo, where a majority has initially opposed military action. Soviet ordnance contains only intermediate ballistic missiles, they can reach certain strategic areas of southern Europe only if launched from bases in Hungary, and Zhukov insists on having those bases. Moscow responds also to pressure from its allies at Beijing (Peking), who urge suppression of the Hungarian revolution lest world communism disintegrate. Soviet forces withdraw from Budapest beginning October 30, Cardinal Mindszenty is released from prison that day, Premier Nagy goes on the radio to promise Hungarians free elections and a prompt end to one-party dictatorship, Nagy announces Hungary's unilateral withdrawal from the Warsaw Pact November 1, and 16 Soviet divisions move in 3 days later with 2,000 tanks to crush the Hungarian defiance. Politician Gyula Kallai, 46, helps to restore communist rule after the pro-democratic uprising, and Premier Nagy is succeeded by János Kádár, 44, who has been one of his ministers and will continue as premier until 1958 (and then from 1961 to 1965). Cardinal Mindszenty takes refuge in the U.S. embassy at Budapest, where he will occupy the top floor for 15 years, supported by funds from U.S. bishops. The United Nations General Assembly condemns Soviet interference in Hungary November 4 and calls for an investigation, the last rebel stronghold on Csepel Island in the Danube falls to Soviet forces November 14, and the Russians seize Imre Nagy November 22 as he leaves the Yugoslav embassy at Budapest (see 1958). Premier Kádár begins his regime with extravagant promises: abolition of compulsory deliveries of farm produce, abolition of pressure on peasants to enter collectives, a grant of more control to workers' councils in mines and factories, more production of consumer goods, and the like (but see 1957). The Eisenhower administration makes no effort to intervene in Hungary until after the president's reelection; it offers asylum to Hungarian "freedom fighters" November 29. Hungarians stage a general strike in December to protest the János Kádár regime. Nearly 200,000 people emigrate, including some of the country's best minds and talents.
