To read about who did what and where, turn to...........................................................................................Page 2 DATELINE: BUDAPEST: We are quite aware that there are some Hungarians who are adamantly against mentioning anything favorable about Hungary in print, advocating visitations to Hungary, or even buying Hungarian imports. We are also quite aware that news from Hungary has to be read and digested with a “grain of salt'. Nevertheless, we do believe that our readers are interested in what is going on in the land of their ancestry and are intelligent enough to sift the chaff of propaganda from the wheat of truth. For these valid reasons, we will continue to publish “Dateline; Budapest“ every month and leave it entirely up to our readers to arrive at their own conclusions. So, turn to.................Page 3 MILESTONES IN HUNGARIAN HISTORY: There are so many different versions of Hungarian history and so much controversy over each interpretation that it has become almost impossible to accept any of them as being definitive. Be this as it may, our own Prof. B. Goodman has accepted the challenge of trying to bring into clearer focus the true story of the Hungarian people from their origins right up to present times.

Some say that their visit was great, while others find fault with everything. Here is our own Harry G. Ladanye’s report on his recent 3-week “Historical Tour of Hungary” that was sponsored by this publication. He tells it as it is on..................................Page 7 RÁKÓCZI FOUNDATION NEWSLETTER: Both the Rákóczi Foundation (Canada) and its affiliated Rákóczi Foundation-International (USA) are non-profit organizations that are not only dedicated to the preservation of the Hungarian heritage, but are also doing something constructive about it. You'll get some idea of what they're doing on.................................................................................Page 9 THE LITERATURE OF HUNGARY: Maurus Jókai (Jókai Mór, 1825-1904). one of the greatest among Hungarian novelists and short story writers, wrote more than 100 novels and uncountable short stories. He is among the first to achieve world fame. Some of his finest works, however, have yet to be translated into English. “A Ball”, which exemplifies his unique literary talents, is from his “Hungarian Sketches in Peace and War” that was published in Edinburgh in 1854 and as republished in “Great Short Stories of the World” (World Publishing Company 1925) under the editorships of Barrett H. Clarke and Maxim Lieber is on............................................... ..................................................................Page 16 . . . .AND MUCH MORE COVER PHOTO: The illustration depicting the life of Prince Ferenc Rákóczi II is from a woodcut by Joseph Dómján, the internationally recognized master of colored woodcut, as published in his “Hungarian Heroes and Legends (D.
