...novel. The Hungarians were latecomers to Western Europe, drifting in from southern Russia in the 9th century, and they were so often friendless that it is a wonder they lasted at all. Rakóssy is set in one of the worst times of trouble for the Magyars-when Suleyman the Magnificent and his Turkish Janissaries swept up through the Balkans in 1525 and made pilaff of the Hungarian chivalry at the battle of Mohács. The Magyars were beaten so swiftly that Suleyman at first refused to believe he had really met and destroyed the national army...
When Premier Suleyman Demirel, 42, swept to power 14 months ago, his victory was credited largely to Turkey's growing disdain for the eager flirtation with Russia carried on by his chief opponent, foxy former Premier Ismet Inönü, 83. In recent months, however, Demirel has begun some mild flirting of his own.

...sentenced to death. Menderes' peasant-based Democratic Party was banned, and the triumphant Republicans of wizened old Ismet Inönü took over. But Menderes' popularity, it seems, has only ripened with time. Barely a fortnight before the nation's general elections, his unofficial successor, Suleyman Demirel, 41, stands a chance of winning the lion's share...
