...Hungary only newspaper offices and high officials get printed news from the West, and the people keep their bitterness to themselves. In Poland fearless Cardinal Wyszynski goads the administration; in Hungary Cardinal Mindszenty hides in the American legation. The Hungarian writers who inspired and helped lead the revolution seldom dare to write even sly gibes (though they regularly and stubbornly send delegations to demand the release of Novelist Tibor Dery, intellectual leader of the revolt...
...certainly not a professional historian, would dare to box the compass of Churchill's subject matter.

Take the magazine on free trial for three weeks, he wrote his prospects, and if you like it, send us $5.00 for a year's subscription. Some 9,000 did just that...
...effectively by the people acting together. A few more eggheads in the automobile industry to supplant the blockheads who have designed our recent cars would be in our national interest. Who are the madmen who build cars so long they cannot be parked . . . and so powerful that no man dare use the horsepower available...
