...Tibor Koeves (pronounced Kovesh), a Hungarian journalist who writes in English, has been traveling most of the past 15 years. His Timetable for Tramps, purporting to be the first "textbook" on its subject, is a shrewdly organized, gracefully written set of casual essays on travel as a disease, an art, a religion.

Bethlen apologized, saying that he had merely quoted Gömbös. The seconds went...

The Yugoslav assassin was alleged to have been instructed in the use of weapons at a "murder farm" for Yugoslav terrorists in Hungary. Insulted to the last degree, Hungarian League Delegate Dr. Tibor Eckhardt challenged Yugoslav Foreign Minister Bogoljub Jeftitch to debate the issue on the spot.

Before this challenge to get down to cases...
