Tusk has never been out for the quick fix. Raised in Gdansk as a member of the tiny Kashubian ethnic minority, he joined the anticommunist Solidarity movement in the 1970s while studying history at university. He was later forced by the authorities to work as a house-painter because of his dissident activities. Tusk shared with Lech Walesa and other Solidarity leaders an antipathy to the government that he says was self-evident: "Communism was something so hideous that you had to be an exceptional conformist or a fool not to see the evil around...
...global club known as the Marimekkoites. Sui has been collecting vintage examples of the cheerful prints for years, and this spring Blahnik has created three shoe styles in Marimekko prints. H&M has launched a capsule collection this month featuring the most popular patterns from the 1950s to the 1970s. "Marimekko feels so modern," says Blahnik, who was reminded of the Unikko poppy's potency when he spotted it on a tea towel in a tourist shop. "There's a need right now for the bright and the bold.

Design Research is long gone, but Marimekko remains a familiar leitmotif not only...
There had been rumors over the past two years that Gänswein could be reassigned, with some hypothesizing that he would take over a post that Ratzinger filled in the 1970s: Archbishop of Munich. But most Vaticanologists expect him to stay busy as papal gatekeeper-in-chief. It is a role that became one of the most powerful in the waning years of the previous papacy. Don Stanislaw Dziwisz, John Paul's longtime personal secretary, exerted great authority over the direction of the papacy and access to the Holy Father. After John Paul's death Dziwisz took over his boss...
...coming off an impressive 13-5 victory against Penn.Like his captain, Tillman is no stranger to Cornell lacrosse. The first-year coach graduated from Cornell in 1991, where he played for the legendary Richie Moran. Moran, who led the Big Red to three national championships in the 1970s, also coached Brooks Scholl’s father.While certainly aware of the great history of Cornell lacrosse, Tillman downplayed the importance of facing his alma mater.“I haven’t really thought a lot about that,” Tillman said. “For us, we?...
