Foreign Minister was racing from one Axis capital to another, and no word of his policy appeared in their press; they were involved in a growing Polish-German conflict, but did not know how deeply; they were menaced by troop movements that had nothing to do with Hungarian conflicts. Result was that Hungarians high and low wanted to be Hungarians and nothing else. Whether the Axis ran from Berlin to Rome or from Berlin to Moscow, Hungarians were determined to close their ranks...
From then on, Fritz Mannheimer was a regular E. Phillips Oppenheim character. Mysterious (few people even knew his name), powerful, grasping, he began to formulate the financial policies of nations and to get fat. At one time he worked simultaneously for the German, Austrian, Czech, Polish, Hungarian, Yugoslav and Rumanian Central Banks.

Able Actor Ralph Richardson, who suffers...
...soft, spring evening, three years ago, Frigyes (Frederic) Karinthy, popular Hungarian poet, sat sipping tea in his favorite Budapest café. Suddenly he heard locomotives rumbling, reverberating, dying away. Startled, he raised his head. He knew there had been no trains on the streets of Budapest for 40 years. But he took no treatment for his head-splitting hallucinations until his eyesight grew dim, his legs shaky, his stomach rebellious...
