U.S. tax burden compared with richer nations
A survey by the OECD shows the United States pays less tax per person than many developed countries, with high reliance on personal income tax and weaker sales and property levies. European countries face rising taxes aimed at welfare costs, while U.S. groups allege waste in federal and state tax collection.

Hungary Hunters Draw Western Guests to Border Regions
In Budapest and along the Romania border, Hungary hosts Western hunters aided by the state enterprise Madav. The 1971-74 season tallies 50,000 roedeer, 96,000 roebucks, 15,000 wild boar, with pheasants doubling to 2 million. Hunters pay high upfront costs, often in hard currency, for deer at 125 to 180 dollars plus daily food and lodging. A Montreal doctor and a Marseille visitor praise the hunting and local charm, while guides recount a near-mystical moment with a stag.
