...Alone. Carloads of students quickly brought word of Warsaw's defiance to other university cities. At the country's oldest seat of higher learning, Cracow's 14th century Jagellonian University, some 10,000 students surged through Old Market Square carrying placards that promised "Warsaw is not alone." Shouting down professors who called for calm, they cut classes and jostled with police the next day. In Lublin, at the Communist bloc's only Roman Catholic university, several students were arrested after clashing with police. Elsewhere, bitter but nonviolent protest flared-in Poznan, Wroclaw and Szczecin...

Radio stations, courting the lucrative advertising market of 18-to 34-year-olds who grew up on rock 'n' roll, carefully balance their play list of new releases with selected classics of the genre (examples: the Platters' The Great Pretender, Chuck Berry's Roll Over Beethoven, the Everly Brothers' Bye Bye Love). New York's WOR-FM ("The Sound of Solid Gold") is one of six RKO General radio stations across the country...
...such singers as Charles Aznavour and Mireille Mathieu, and has turned out hundreds of piquant pop orchestrations for his own instrumental albums. Three of his albums had been released in the U.SL during the past two years, selling moderately (around 25,000 copies per album) in the same market that supports such American counterparts as Percy Faith and Nelson Riddle...
