Dreyfus carried out his pledges. Before even proposing a budget, he got the Democratic-controlled legislature to pass a tax-cut bill, which in effect returned the state's huge tax surplus to the people without cutting services. "First you decide how much money there is, and then you decide what you're going to spend it on," he argued. He opened off-limits meetings to journalists, and he announced that there would be a new fiscal restraint. Although he has proposed a budget that is 20% higher than the previous one, Dreyfus maintains that "my key program...
...keep the party and the system satisfied." Beyond Poland, Tomsky thinks that the arrival of John Paul occurs "at a time when the Soviet Union is tired ideologically. In this climate, the revival of Polish Catholicity will be exciting to all believers. The Pope has told people in effect, that they should be dissidents." And if the Pope's ecumenical thrust toward Orthodoxy succeeds, "it could bring the fire of Poland into the Russian heartland.

(He's not grateful either when newspaper accounts invariably recall that Mr. Justice White was once better known to you and me as Whizzer White, football star.) But each court attempt to redefine...
...features. One was the sweep of interior space, 324 ft. long, without a single interior support. Another was the three huge exterior trusses, or interlocking networks of pipes, that marched up, across and over the cool white structure, holding up the roof and giving the building a light, lacy effect. That combination of lightness and strength had won Jahn one of the AlA's prestigious design awards...
