by Endre Kolozsvári Grandpierre Is the revision of Árpád's conquest necessary? The question of Árpád's "conquest" (henceforth "Conquest") is not as clear, as it appears to be.

A Transylvanian Tragedy
(Weisskirch/Szaszfeheregyhaza/Viscri) A double tragedy continues to unfold in Transylvania, the northwestern chunk of Romania that has been a haven for ethnic Germans for some eight centuries. First is the fast disappearance of an extraordinary cultural heritage, expressed partly by the medieval architecture that Germans (known as "Saxons", though in fact they came from far and wide across the German-speaking world) brought to Transylvania and preserved for centuries against staggering odds.

The Székelys
The Szekelys were there long before the Xth Century. The eponymous shepherds, Vlachs, now "Rumanians," showed up in Transylvania for the first time in the 1200s, trying to escape the Tartars.

A szocialisták zsákmányszerző-politikáját nem akadályozzák a jogszabályok
A vadászat alapelvei A szocialisták zsákmányszerző-politikáját nem akadályozzák a jogszabályok Lukács Csaba Az immár kilenc hónapja tartó vadásszezon (nevezhetjük cirkalmasan parlamenti ciklusnak is) eredményeit még talán maga Ceausescu fővadász is megirigyelné, pedig aztán nála jobban senki sem tudott padlőfűtéses magaslesről elaltatott barnamedvét lőni. Nem véletlen a párhuzam: a száz százalékig EU-komform, határokon átívelő román-magyar közöskasszás nagyvadejtéseket kíséreljük meg most felsorolni.
