I would like to correct a misleading title submitted by
. According to DIRECT, "Hungary Takes IMF/World
Bank to Court for Negligence." This is incorrect. As it is clear from the
"press release," it is not Hungary (or, if you prefer, the government of
Hungary, which "takes IMF/World Bank to Court for Negligence," but "certain
Hungarian citizens are contemplating a class action on behalf of all the
citizents of the Republic of Hungary."

Big difference!

Dear Vitez,
+ - Pop singer Zalatnay (mind) VÁLASZ  Feladó: (cikkei)

Hi!  I'm writing to see if anyone can give me any information about a
record album I found at a yard sale.  It is by a female pop singer named
Zalatnay Sarolta, and is titled "Ha Fiu' Lehetne'k."  It is on the
Qualiton label, LPX 17404.  Though there is no copyright date, it would
seem to be from the mid to late sixties, judging from the clothing on the
cover photos.  It has a great sixties pop sound to it, and I enjoy it a
lot, even though I can't understand a word!  If anyone can tell me more
about this singer, I would be most interested.
