...should be offered much more choice than the Core currently allows. The proposed legislation, however, is largely mute on the subject of the transition between the two systems. It leaves that issue for the new Standing Committee to decide during the 2007-2008 academic year. Current students, however, cannot afford to wait a year for the committee to crack open the Core.

"A nation that kills its children won't survive!" read one banner, quoting the late Polish pontiff John Paul II. "Poland cannot kill its babies!" declared another. "Let the unborn see our Homeland." Not far away, in Constitution Square, a Stalinist cluster of 1950s social realism architecture, about 1,000 demonstrators mounted a counter-rally in favor of loosening Poland's laws: "Free women, free world," they shouted...
