That is the reason that, as Professor Langer says, these unsatisfactorily settled minority problems are the most dangerous questions in European politics and that the reason why "the present arrangements for the protection of minorities are inadequate" lies largely in the fault of the peace settlements; not least in the case of Hungary which lost, by the Treaty of Trianon, without any legal self-determination or plebiscite, three and a half millions Hungarians to the so called successor states, thus creating not one but four Alsace-Lorraines in the middle of Europe

Sei Shonagon was in the service of Empress Sadako at the elaborate court of Heian. Not the least of her qualifications for the post was her handwriting-the cult of calligraphy amounting almost to a religion at court. Love affairs often began by some chance view of a lady's writing. On scented rice-paper Shonagon traced her delicate characters, decorating her "poems" with puns and symbols...
