MEMO FROM THE PUBLISHER
The Hungarian and Rumanian Olympic athletes and coaches who recently completed their Freedom Tour have asked me to express their appreciation to everyone who contributed to its success. Credit must really go to the entire country, and I think nothing says this better than a list, which, unfortunately, must be only partial, of the individuals, groups, clubs and firms who gave the tour their time, effort, services and financial support.
