...Cabinet reshuffle drew differing analyses from Western observers. Foreign policy experts in Bonn see Jaruzelski as an orthodox party loyalist whose rise presages direct action by the Polish armed forces if the labor situation deteriorates further. U.S. State Department analysts, pointing to Jaruzelski's past reluctance to use force against strikers, predict that he will support Kania's relatively moderate policy toward the unions. If that happens, Kania will have gained a valuable counterweight in his struggle against extreme hard-liners like Politburo Member Stefan Olszowski who have been arguing for an immediate crackdown. Finally, Jaruzelski is trusted...
...officials of the Catholic Church in France. Indeed, the Pope's choice for Archbishop of Paris, Jean-Marie Lustiger, 54, French-born son of Polish-Jewish Holocaust victims (his mother died at Auschwitz), created quite a stir when announced last week. Lustiger's credentials are, however, impeccably orthodox. Though he wore a Star of David throughout the Nazi occupation of France, Lustiger turned to Catholicism as a very young child, formally converting and changing his first name (from Aaron) at age 14. He studied theology at the Sorbonne, served as a university chaplain, and has been Bishop...
Other members represent conflicting leftist isms ranging from Trotskyism to orthodox Marxist-Leninism to "Christian Socialism." Differences about strategy and tactics have also contributed to the revolution's fragmentation. The moderates, like Ungo, for instance, may one day choose the route of political compromise with the government if-and when-their military campaign is finally and decisively defeated. The diehard Marxist-Leninists like Cayetano, on the other hand, are likely to fight on indefinitely for what they regard as a class struggle to the death...
...less orthodox expert, Edward D. McCarthy, has been observing nature's perversity for 70 winters now, and thinks there is something to be learned from it. He lives in Galeton (pop. 1,500), nestled in a canyon of the Pine River in northern Pennsylvania. "The river is frozen harder than the shady side of a banker's heart," he told TIME Correspondent Dean Brelis. "The rapids are silent, as if they're in an ice-cold grave. There have been no bear tracks for 20 days. God and Lady Nature have whispered in their ears and they...
...dramatic tension? It comes from an unlikely source: the 1925 Samson Raphaelson play and the Al Jolson movie version that ushered in the talkies. There is no Mammy in the new Jazz Singer; there's not even a momma. But the plot is the same: a young Orthodox cantor wants to become a singing star, straining to break the shackles of tradition even as he yearns for the blessing of a parental embrace. And Diamond has adhered to one other aspect of Jolson's performance: he sings one number in blackface...
