When I told my neighbor and friend Marjan that I was going to America the next day, he answered: “Sure, with a finger on the map!” "No, really, by boat..." I replied, "...that will sail in a bathtub!" he insisted. But in 1962 we really did travel from Trieste to New York, on the historic Italian Line 24,500-ton Vulcania. Since in socialism trips abroad were severely restricted, among other ways by making it impossible to buy foreign currency, we had to borrow significant dollars and marks from my uncle, who was in diplomatic service at the time. Another limitation was that the whole family was not allowed to leave the country. Thus my mother and brother stayed home while my father and I ...

Tarok is the oldest surviving card game. Modern tarok approaches the card game bridge in complexity, but exceeds it in intellectual enjoyment. This monograph describes the history, rules and strategy of the game of tarok and is intended for both the beginner and advanced player.

Tarok je najstarejša ohranjena igra s kartami. Sodobni tarok je po zapletenosti podoben igri bridge, umsko pa je v večje veselje. Ta monografija opisuje zgodovino, pravila in postopek igre tarok; namenjena je začetnikom in izkušenim tarokistom. Redko najdemo priročnik za pravila taroka, še redkeje pa knjigo o strategiji igre.

At age 10, I could not find any interesting adventure books in the library, so I wrote my own. The Bloody Bone on a Cemetery Wall was a common tongue-in-cheek phrase mocking horror stories. I borrowed this title and tried to fit a plot to it, to flesh it out (pun intentional). Well, here is my first pulp fiction. I translated it from Slovenian into English at age 16, and self-published it at age 72. The character of Arsène Lupin, "gentleman thief and master of disguise" was borrowed from writer Maurice Leblanc, and that of Crichton Davey from Sax Rohmer's novels.
