Spirits quickened in Poland once again last week as the country was swept anew by the euphoria and the unease that have characterized so much of the past year.

The rooms are often dimly lit and poorly ventilated. In many cases, huge rolls of cloth block fire exits. The workers range from the young to the very old. In a raid on Chinatown sweatshops last spring, federal investigators found one 90-year-old woman...
