...cold autumn days grow shorter, Eastern Europe's largest nation (after the Soviet Union) is headed for its most difficult year since 1970. In the late afternoon, outside one of the new Western-style supermarkets in Warsaw, a line of people 20 yds. long extends out the door and into the chilly darkness. It is mostly women, bundled in heavy coats and woolen scarves, their cheeks turned crimson by the subfreezing temperature.
