Its membership is comprized of a cross-section of Hungarian churches, organizations and individuals. The Foundation’s primary goal is to assist in the preservation of the Hungarian Heritage especially in the younger generation of Hungarian descent and inform the general public about the historical, cultural and scientific contribution of the Magyar nation to mankind. The Foundation encourages research and educational programs, academic studies in universities, colleges and high schools, has an active scholarship and award program, regularly sponsors lectures and symposia and recently has extended its activities into a new field: English Language publications, to stimulate interest in the study of Hungary and Hungarians. RÁKÓCZI FOUNDATION PUBLICATIONS This is the first in a series of bio-bibliographies of illustrious Hungarian immigrants, who by preserving their national heritage, become ‘ ‘International Giants” ■ and contributed so much to the cultural and scientific life of their adopted countries. Laura Fermi, in her nook “Illustrious Immigrants” spends a whole Chapter on and tries to resolve ‘The Mystery of the Hungarian Talent.” Without too much success, but the following quotes might justify the publisher’s hope: that the series will be interesting, educational, stimulating and useful. “When Fermi’s Latin and Teller’s Magyar brains came together, they sparked, like two electrically charged bodies.” EPILOGUE BY EDWARD TELLER RF RF BIOGRAPH I ES: ONE THE AUTHOR Francis S.
