He has seen the future he says Ana it works Greal the world of tomorrow says Sznel Miklosy m a place where lunar soil makes a top notch Concrete where an artificial Gill opens the Bounty of the sea of Mankind where Beer takes jus 24 hours so ferment. If is a Nappy place with International coexistence and technological Progress coming together or the common Good. And Sznel a Losy is absolutely certain that ivs All going to come True. Every age has to have its prophets people who by whatever Means judge where we re  says the 42-year-old native hungarian in new York. Sznel Miklosy insists he is one of Hose soothsayers.

Page 16 the stars and stripes a Follower of szent mrw Osy can Only expect a Brave new world. I see Soful Fons where others see problems he says bad things do happen bul everybody else handles that i Don t have to compete with Thorn " so when dozens die and hundreds Are irradiated by the nuclear Plant Accident at chernobyl Saenla Miklosy acknowledges the tragedy but sees a Silver lining to that radioactive Cloud. The soviets will now be More open about their nuclear program he says and will Trade information with the West the More this fear Between the two pails of the world is eliminated even sometimes by a tragic Accident like this the greater too Long term results and Friendly dealings Between the nations of the world " he says. Szent Miklosy is of course not alone in his desire to see the shape of things to coma. The world future society the largest of several groups of future buds has 23,000 members Down from 40,000 at its height in the 1970s. But spokesman by face Cornish says that membership slide is attributable to a Lack of promotion Lor the society not a Lack of interest in tomorrow Roy c. Amara president of the More scholarly Institute for the future in Menlo Park calif., says the focus on the future has been shifted from individuals to institutions companies and governmental organizations that want to have a handle on what s going to happen. As for romanticized visions of tomorrow he says i in Ink Here s much less of thai kind of activity the kind of look towards 2050. " szent fim Losy has been Reading the world s Lea leaves or about 25 years now. He left Budapest during the 1956 revolution and came to new Yolk where he Laler became a planner with slate and business organisations. The future was never tar from his thoughts he served two terms As president of the new York chapter tuesday september 30,1986 of the Worlof future society i m he one who put the world future society on the new York map tic says proudly when 1976 rolled around this self styled visionary was Jotters. He had in hand a $95 unemployment Check and a Choice he could pay the rent or pay a Printer to produce 500 copies of his new Magazine. I decided thai i was in need of doing what my destiny called it Hosay Fulu Rifici swiftly became a kind of mini conglomerate. Szpont Miklosy needed o word processor so he bought one. When in was t being used for the Magazine it was used for a typing and resume service. When he needed messengers he started a messenger service. The profits from these sidelines Well to Prophesy. Szent Miklosy used the Money to expand the Magazine and to print More copies. Szent Miklosy does not write the articles but is responsible for every prediction. Every month in a sense i m pulling my neck on the chopping Block. And let the a fall he says in lightly accented English. Perhaps that is Why numerous pictures of Sznel Mosy have graced Iho pages of Fulu Rifici so listening intently to an astronauts a s Magyar visage smiling Lor a porn rail so shaking hands with president Reagan. Numerous pictures ols a with famous people also line the Walls of Futon Etc s Ollice a Small room perhaps 10 by 12 icel into which have been shoe horned three desks the word processor and piles of to offs and papers. Szent Miklosy uses information that is generally available to make his forecasts the significant facts in a newspaper he says Are often not on Page one but on Page 37, nol in the headline but in the last paragraph. "1 think people like myself can see a lot of developments and to can store a massive amount of data in ires Low in our brains where All these inverse Irons which will provide a new impetus a new creation a new invention a new Industry he says. This rather grand prognostic Ting process is not always supported in the Magazine. In fact much of Tofu Rifici consists of Light weight analysis Tho soviets and the americans Are coming Clear a european currency is gaining strength and squibs about Geo Whiz Gimer Acoss like a flashlight breath analyser. Futuristic otters no lips on the next Blue Chip Stock or predictions of who will to the next president of the United states. " i really does t matter.
