Foreign News: Goodbye

Goodbye It looked for a time as though the world might learn some of the answers to a perplexing intrigue of the cold war: the case of the American ex-diplomat Noel Field, and his wife Herta. When the Hungarian government suddenly freed them after five years in prison on trumped-up spy charges, U.S. diplomatic officials in Budapest saw them briefly. It was possibly the last meeting Noel and Herta Field would ever have with their countrymen. Over Budapest radio last week came the announcement that Noel and Herta Field had asked for and had been granted "political asylum" in Communist Hungary.
