- current affairs
On September 26, 2013 I wrote about the likelihood that the next ambassador to Hungary will a political appointee, Colleen Bell, producer of the TV soap “The Bold and the Beautiful.” At the time I expressed my dismay over the appointment.

- 25 Feb 2013 8:00 AM
- current affairs
I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me before.
