- <p> DIED. Janos Kadar, 77, leader of Hungary who invited the
- Soviet tanks that crushed the 1956 uprising; in Budapest. In
- power from 1956 until forced out in May 1988, Kadar outlasted
- five regimes in Moscow by toeing the Soviet line on foreign
- affairs. At the same time, he ushered in domestic reforms that
- blended socialism with free-market principles. The resultant
- "goulash Communism" produced enough economic vitality to make
- Hungary the envy of the Soviet bloc.
