Whatever form it takes, Warsaw's economic program will ultimately depend on the cooperation of Solidarity's 10 million members. Solidarity Leader Lech Walesa admitted last week that price increases were necessary but said they should be accompanied by broad economic reforms. Charges one Solidarity official: "Incredible incompetence in management is the problem." Despite the party congress, Poland's problems are clearly far from solved...
...slim hope that a dark-horse buyer would come forward during the two-week grace period. Otherwise the nation's capital will be left with only one major newspaper, the Washington Post (daily circ. 618,000). This was cause for mourning in a city where decision makers depend on a full and vigorous airing of important public issues. "An extremely sad day," said President Ronald Reagan.

The solution: Ad became one of Hollywood's top agents, a status...
...expect a pair of "Arizona twins" to develop and to hang together any more consistently than have the now-splintered "Minnesota twins," Burger and Blackmun. Broadly speaking, the court now has two liberals, Brennan and Marshall, in a standoff facing two conservatives, Rehnquist and Burger. The decisions thus often depend on how the other so-called fluid five divide on a given case. And that rarely can be foreseen...
