THERE CAN BE LITTLE QUESTION as to why Wajda, a polish director with Polish interests, chose a French historical subject, and made his movie as a co-production with a French studio.

Not surprisingly after seeing the final version the Polish authorities decided to postpone indefinitely the film...
Last month the New York City Opera became the first major company in the U.S. to subtitle a live opera performance. For the experiment, General Director Sills chose Jules Massenet's Cendrillon, a rarely performed, exquisitely frothy turn-of-the-century version of the Cinderella tale.

But Watt chose not to wait for its recommendations; instead, he decided to issue five leases for coal-rich federal land in North Dakota to private companies (cost to them: $912 million). That decision flew in the face of a directive from the House Interior Committee, which had ordered Watt to delay granting the leases until Congress could review them. As Watt saw it, the House had no legal right to stop...
