From USA Today, March 16, 1990 "Religion is greatest story ever missed" by Barbara Reynolds

"The Rev. Laszlo Tokes, the Hungarian pastor who sparked the Romanian revolution, told me of how the day before ... Nicolae Ceausescu was overthrown, Tokes was being prepared for a show trial. He expected to be executed. Through 'divine intervention,' he and his pregnant wife can look forward to their baby— Esther or Joseph—being born in a freer Romania.

"While Tokes put God at the head of Europe's liberation movement, the media are missing the message, he told me. 'Eastern Europe is not just in a political revolution but a religious renaissance.'"
