...Juggernaut? Meanwhile, the Christian Century reached its 40,000 subscribers with one of the sharpest attacks on Billy yet made anywhere-far rougher than the criticism from Roman Catholics three weeks ago (TIME, May 6).

...Bydgoszcz a radio-jamming station was burned down and the local police headquarters attacked to shouts of "Long live Gomulka." At Kutno, an important rail junction between Warsaw and Poznan, a Soviet supply train was attacked, and at Legnica, main Soviet base near the German frontier, a Soviet officer's house was burned down. Throughout Silesia workers' groups passed resolutions protesting against the latest measures of the Kadar regime in Hungary. Last week in Poznan, center of the June riots, 30,000 steelworkers capped three days of anti-Soviet demonstrations with a demand for the with drawal...
