...nationalism. Everyone is trying on new clothes now, some too big, some too small, and some coming out at the elbow." Poland, which permits great personal freedom of expression and in the arts, is currently undergoing a tight fit with religion: Catholic bishops who want to celebrate the 1,000th year of Polish Catholicism in Czestochowa this May are clashing head-on with party nationalists, who want to save the thunder for the millennium of Polish nationhood and protect the Oder-Neisse Line from West German "ecumenism" as well. As a result, Gomulka's government denied a passport...
...000th auto of Model Year 1966 rolled off the production lines last week-15 days earlier than last year.

Last June the U.S. Senate passed Resolution 116, marveling warmly that Senator Smith had just cast her 2,000th roll-call vote without a miss-a feat "unparalleled in the history of the Senate." Her only declared opposition so far in Maine comes from a Democratic state representative named Plato Truman. If Mrs. Smith can lick that combination, she will automatically become the ranking Republican on the powerful Armed Services Committee, now that Massachusetts...
...Ecumenical Council ended in Rome last month, the Polish delegation headed by Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski, acting in the truest spirit of Christian reconciliation, invited East and West Germany's 54 bishops, archbishops and cardinals to attend the ceremonies in Czestochowa next May marking the 1,000th anniversary of the conversion of Poland's King Mieczyslaw I.
