NEW HUNGARIAN WAY DR. JÓZSEF REMÉNYI (Cleveland, Ohio) of Western Reserve University analyzes the poetry of Emily Dickinson. Miss Dickinson’s poetry was characterized by her solitude. She had a seemingly mystic humor as if she had secrets without caring whether others would like to share them. Her impressionalist colors remind one of Verlaine. Although her poems are technically imperfect, they are still witty and reflect the pain of the soul which defends itself with smiles against fate. * * * PROF. MIHÁLY FERDINANDY’S “The Hungarian Observer” is being concluded in its fifth installment in this issue. It is an autobiography and an interesting experiment in a new method of history writing. * * * The WORLD FORUM (by András Marton, Washington, D. C.) analyzes the current struggle between the free world and the Soviet bloc for the favors of the uncommitted nations. Mr. Marton calls attention to the Soviet attempts for the economic domination of the underdeveloped countries. He points out that the Soviet generosity is at the expense of the captive nations. The World Forum also surveys last year’s outstanding international political events. In the SPORT LIFE (by Miklós Tóth, Washington, D. C.) we report on last year’s international pentathlon championship in Switzerland. Mr. Tóth was the coach of the American team and it goes to his credit that for the first time in the history of this event, the Americans gave a remarkable performance. In this issue we also present a special report by Dr. Ferenc Dóczy from Melbourne, Australia, on the pre-Olympic athletic championships with the participation of the world famous Hungarian athletes—Iharos, Tábori and Rózsavölgyi. * * * Our literary selection features a short story by LAJOS KUTASI KOVÁCS (Sao Paulo, Brazil), and poems by BÉLA VÍG, IMRE MADÁCH and PÁL GULYÁS. — 62 —
