...months since Poland's pragmatic Party Boss Edward Gierek took power, the nation's writers and intellectuals-reflecting the view of Poles in general-have found that it is possible to live with Gierek's moderate regime. Stage Director Kazimierz Dej-mek has returned from exile and is again in favor; he was disgraced in 1968 for putting on a heavily anti-Russian production of Patriot-Poet Adam Mickiewicz's 19th century play Dziady, which included the line "The only things Moscow sends us are jackasses, idiots and spies." Writer Stefan Kisie-lewski, who was severely...

There an earlier British archaeologist had discovered the remnants of a city of perhaps 30,000 inhabitants and unearthed parts of an Arab citadel. Michalowski dug into the citadel's foundations.

Rushed to a hospital with a ruptured aorta and fractures of the skull, arm and pelvis, Skrzypecki died 27 hours later-the first fatality in the history of the Winter Olympics. Then, to everyone's horror, there...
While U.S. agents were keeping Defector Monat under wraps, Poland's Communist Boss Wladyslaw Gomulka reacted swiftly by appointing tough Lieut. General Kazimierz Witaszewski deputy chief of staff in charge of army intelligence. A fiery pro-Stalinist who had supported the Russians in 1956 in their attempt to overthrow Gomulka himself, General Witaszewski might not be able to improve the quality of Polish espionage, but he could be counted upon to make the apparatus more escapeproof...
