...there is an Old Testament harshness to the Rebekah regime. The windows have alarms. The rooms are bugged, and the girls are kept under constant surveillance. Mail is censored. Errant inmates are given "licks" with wooden paddles; serious offenders, like those who try to run away, are tied up or put in solitary confinement "lockups" for days.

Though Stalinist-era oppression has ended, there is still tension. Said one Polish Catholic intellectual from Cracow: "You can't talk about persecution, but there is constant harassment." Religion classes remain outside the schools, and, more important, parents are pressured not to send their children. Religious broadcasts are forbidden, even of Masses that could comfort invalids.

National coverage of three of this week's events has been scheduled...
