EDITOR'S CORNER As you readily know, the HSN tries to report on English writings, speeches and programs related to Hungary and Hungarians. It does not print critical evaluations, no matter how tempting. Instead, it calls attention to items and events which the reader is hoped will evaluate in whatever professional journal he or she choses to. My gripe at this point is that far too few readers are doing it, thus, some excellent works remain unpraised and some really damaging works appearing in academic guise remain unchallenged. It is in the interest of universal truth and scholarly fairness that erroneous statements be corrected. The HSN will be glad to reprint or report such reviews as it has done in the past. So, write up those evaluations and send us a copy, please. We may break with the habit of the mass media and present some good news. The good news is that there are still stounch idealists among us who are willing to put their labor where their mouth is. One such person is Joseph StClair (Scotts Valley, Calif.), who has completed a tedious job for the public good: he compiled and organized a name and subject index to the first 22 issues of the HSN. It was a momentous job, and I don’t know how to thank him but by reminding us all that “Joe will never change.” The index should become available to our readers by mid-summer. Because of my dislike for vaunt I tried to keep the HSN free from such references, even if they reflected on good news. Nevertheless, there comes a time, when one’s resistance is overcome by exuberance. Such is the case with the success of one of our publications, Gabriel Horchler’s Hungarian Economic Reform (Hungarian Reference Shelf, no. 3). Though the principal credit goes to the author, weareglad to bask in the warmth of highly laudatory reviews, knowing that we made the right selection. A good many persons have sent material for this issue. My appreciation goes to Fredrick H. Barth, Sam Beck, George Bisztray, Kalman Bognár, István Deák, Kaara N. Ettesvold, Tibor Frank, Martin L. Kovács, Maria Krisztinkovich, Philip G. Mechanick, Robert A. Orosz, Gizella Róna, Thomas Sakmyster, Ivan Sanders, Margit Serényi, Rózsi Stein, and Deborah L. Wince.
