In his travelogue entitled „Indian zuihitsu" László Ribánszky (Munich) summarizes his impressions gained during his journey to India, Nepal and Sri Lanka. In the process of coming to terms with the impact these three countries made on him, he draws a consciously subjective yet authentic picture of the social, spiritual and moral problems of the South Asian subcontinent. Imre Szente (Jyväskylä, Finland) continues his study on the influence of urbanization on the development of language. A Hungarian samizdat publication coming from Slovakia deals with the decline of Hungarian schools in parts of Slovakia inhabited by Hungarians. In the „Diary" colum Magda Németh (Salzburg), a new refugee, reports why Hungarian intellectuals can still feel compelled to leave their country. The „Observer" column contains a review by Sándor Szilassy (Turnersville, N. J.) on American intelligence reports which reveal the views of OSS officers on the political orientation and activities of Hungarian born Americans during World War II. Nándor Boksányi (Munich) discusses the French edition of the recollections of Sándor Kopácsi, a former head of the police department in Budapest and a close associate of Imre Nagy during the revolution in 1956. Győző Határ (London) critically surveys the book of Tibor Hanák on the history of Marxist philosophy in Hungary. György Gömöri (Cambridge) reviews new works and collections dealing with the journeys of Hungarian travellers to Western Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries. New publications in Hungary and in the West are introduced by György Ferninandy (Puerto Rico), György Haas (Vienna), Péter Halász (Munich), Tamás Kabdebó (Manchester), Zoltán Rónai (Madrid), Iván Sanders (Stony Brook, N. Y.), István Szépfalusi (Vienna). In his letter to the editors of Üj Látóhatár Andor Sziklay (Andor C.
