...after an all-day negotiating session in Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin's Jerusalem office, Henry Kissinger approved a midnight addition to an agreement with Israel. The U.S., he pledged, would not "recognize or negotiate with" the Palestine Liberation Organization until the P.L.O. accepted Israel's right to exist.

It seems what we are doing is still salvaging the remnants of a Stalinist model." The next day even Communist Party officials gave him admiring reviews. Said one: "It was a smashing victory for Walesa. I would give him an 8-to-2 advantage." To many Poles, his appearance seemed to confer official recognition on Solidarity and could be a catalyst for renewed enthusiasm for the union...
