...week earlier, the Polish leader's efforts to thaw relations with the West had suffered a serious setback. West German Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher had postponed a visit to Warsaw, largely because Polish officials told him it would be inappropriate to visit the grave of Father Jerzy Popieluszko, an outspoken supporter of the banned Solidarity trade union who was abducted and killed in October.

The door has now opened a crack. After a two-day visit to Tehran, West German Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher reported last week that Iran was ready to "break through the ring of isolation" and "begin a political dialogue with the West...
