Now you are describing my Hungarian when I arrived at Columbia
University in the early 1970s. I was considered a "living fossil". I
was taught Hungarian by my grandparents who immigrated to the U.S. in
1894! I've done my best to "modernize" it and am told it's quite good.
But keeping up with slang is a challenge.

Readers of the Discussion Group may be interested in the new book by the
American historian, Thomas Sakmyster

        Hungary's Admiral on Horseback
        Miklos Horthy, 1918-1944

Columbia University Press, 1994.

The book is well documented and gives a balanced picture of this
historical figure.

Wonderful! You should help out Mr. Orszagh, who couldn't come up with
anything decent.

        Wouldn't embarrass work?

I'm looking for email addresses, PO addresses or leads to anyone who can
give me information on employment opportunities (any capacity) at the
forthcoming world's fair in Hungary. The information is for another party
who was born in Hungary (and still has family there), is an American
resident and Canadian citizen. She has plenty of sales experience and an
outgoing, vivacious personality.

Thanks in advance.

For a slang term?

Several months ago, I read an article in the Nepszabadsag which indicated
that there were plans for a new metro (green?) that would extend from
Bosnyak ter to Etele ter. (sorry about the absence of long vowel marks...)

There would, of course, be a stop at Moricz Zigmond Korter.  There were also
planned links with the red metro at Keleti and the blue at Kalvin ter.
