...palates. Two cases in point: Linda Merinoff's The Glorious Noodle -- A Culinary Tour Around the World (Poseidon; $16.95) and Margaret Leibenstein's The Edible Mushroom -- A Gourmet Cook's Guide (Fawcett Columbine; $14.95). Merinoff, a journalist and caterer, is obviously beguiled by all things pasta -- Italian, Greek, Hungarian, Israeli, African, Alsatian or Asian. Her work brims with tempting dumplings, noodles in mild and spicy sauces, one-dish soups and stews bolstered with some form of wheat-, bean- or rice-flour noodles. Lore is easygoing, and recipes are explicit...
With the approach of the 30th anniversary of the Hungarian revolution, 122 East Europeans last month signed a declaration praising the uprising, denouncing Soviet intervention and calling for democracy. Two generations after the liberation of Europe, tyranny remains the condition of its eastern half.

Suddenly, the stillness is broken by the shouts of 1,000 of Garang's guerrillas passing on their way to battle at nearby Kapoeta, a southern Sudanese town 140 miles east of the city of Juba. First they chant, "Garang, Garang, Garang." Then...
...only one of a growing number of middlemen in the airline industry. Like GPA, which is privately held, most are obscure. International Lease Finance (1985 sales: $81.2 million), for example, was begun in 1973 by three Hungarian immigrants who now employ ten staffers in a Beverly Hills office suite. But these lessors have become familiar faces at Boeing, the giant Seattle aircraft manufacturer. In 1980 only four of Boeing's 316 orders were placed by leasing companies; during the first half of 1986, their share skyrocketed to 109 out of 247. Overall, more than $10 billion worth of aircraft will...
