While there may be a lot of truth behind such a belief, nevertheless, just like many of you did, we, too, have microscoped the past year, telescoped the route ahead of us this year, and have resolved to try to do much better than we did in 1986, in regard to providing you with the kind of magazine you will look forward to reading from cover-to-cover every month. To begin with, we did pay attention to and did “hear” the suggestions many of you have made about augmenting our Table of Contents with some “lessons in Hungarian" and at least one article each month in Hungarian. You will find “Hungarian Classroom” on page 22 of this issue and our new “Hungarian Supplement” on page 23. While we have launched our Hungarian section with the first part of a three-part article by Endre Haraszti on the history of the Hungarian Hussars, we would be very pleased to consider articles by other Hungarian writers for publication.. .provided such submissions are no longer than six typewritten pages (double-spaced), are non-ideopolitical, and deal with subjects of general interest to our readers. Secondly, above and beyond our intentions to keep on improving the quality of the Hungarian Heritage Review and increasing its readership nationwide, we have resolved to try to do something meaningful about several things that have been bothering us for some time. One of these “pestering itches” is to look into the possibility of having the Hungarian community in America properly represented among the many other ethnic exhibits on display in the American Museum of Immigration, which will be moved from the second floor of the Statue of Liberty to Ellis Island just as soon as the island's restoration will be completed. For, what is on display right now, is so disgraceful that it boggles the mind! The other thing we intend looking into are pinpointing for suitable markers the forgotten graves of Colonel Michael Kovats, Colonel Janos László Polereczky, and those of the Hungarian Hussars who fell in the Battle of Yorktown and are supposed to be buried at Gloucester Point; and last but not least, to explore the possibilities of establishing a “Hungarian-American Hall of Fame”. After all, Hungarians of the past and of the present have contributed much to America in all fields of human endeavor and it is about time all Americans know who they were and what they did. Don't you think so, too? PAUL PULITZER Executive Editor PART-TIME EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY: We are in need of and are looking for Correspondent-Representatives in all areas of the United States where there are Hungarian communities. Generous commission basis to start. If interested, write to the HUNGARIAN HERITAGE REVIEW, P.O. Box 2203, Union, New Jersey 07083. JANUARY 1987 HUNGARIAN HERITAGE REVIEW 1
