I was in Budapest 4 weeks after the Communists were ousted. My husband and I
went with a cousin of mine, who lives in Budapest, to a café. We started to
have a political discussion of some sort (I don't rememebr what). My cousin
suddenly stopped and said: "You don't know how good this feels. A month ago
I would have been sent to prison for saying in public what I have just said
now."
