Despite the unification of father and children, Hunt never felt a close connection with the oil baron, who was an emotionally distant and demanding lothario. However, it was her father who first introduced her to politics. H.L. Hunt espoused a doctrine of rabid anti-communism. He penned a utopian novel in which wealth dictated voting privileges, and he pressed his daughters into the service of his anti-communist crusade. “Making speeches with my father was the closest thing to a meaningful relationship we ever had,” the younger Hunt writes...
...help those who resisted - betray Hungary? What about France and Britain, whose harebrained Suez adventure provided Moscow with a convenient diversion once Khrushchev had decided to restore the old order? What should we call Hungary, '56?

Together with xenophobic parties of the right, like Italy's Northern League, which oppose...
...constantly in flux. Indeed, contemplating the changes in Europe since Time began publishing here 60 years ago, it's striking how many of the biggest shifts have taken place on levels that have nothing to do with physical or political geography. Events inside Europe's borders - the decline of communism, the huge increase in the Muslim population, the boom in low-cost air travel - have contributed at least as much to Europe's self-definition as have, for example, the shifting lines on a map that mark the expansion of the European Union. The frontiers that seem most important...
