Every week you may read a selection of our articles, primarily news, domestic issues and politics, and the editor's choice for the "week's best". This service is free, and can be subscribed to by sending an email-message to 'subs.narancs@hix.com'. A World Wide Web site is under construction, and in a few weeks' time you may enjoy our paper not only by email, but also in a pleasing graphical format. We wish to thank Hollosi Information eXchange /HIX/ for their collaboration, an important step indeed, since by the 158th anniversary celebration of free press in Hungary we may well forget what paper was meant to be. Andras B. Vagvolgyi Editor-in-Chief Magyar Narancs and yo and behold! :) What this guy sez is actually true. You can get his original announcement by dropping a line (more precisely, no line will do) to narancs@hix.com, and you can learn more about HIX from help@hix.com. Lest you get overly joyous: all this is in Hungarian :(((((. If you wish to learn Hungarian, I suggest that you try (a) being born Hungarian (b) going to Hungary, living in Hungary for five years, marrying a Hungarian, bringing forth on this earth a child who goes to a Hungarian kindergarten, and learning from him (her) as it goes up. I can't think of shortcuts right now. Uhhh. I just thought this piece of news was of some independent interest. (My own role in the story is wholly tangential, save that I happened to conceive the idea, and happened to know both individuals -- Andras Vagvolgyi and Jozsef Hollosi -- without whom none of this ever could've become etc.) By the way, if you do wish to sponsor an English-language Orange, or know one who would, do not fail to contact me, or Magyar Narancs directly! :) Tibor ############# # This message to Hungary-Online@hungary.yak.net # was from Tibor Beke # # To unsubscribe, # send "unsubscribe" to # An announcement-only subscription (less volume) is available # at # Send mail to for more information, # or to if you need human assistance. #############
