Although 50 Polish bishops were at St. Peter's, the country's Primate, Archbishop Jozef Glemp of Warsaw, stayed at home because of his fear of civil unrest. He celebrated an outdoor Mass at Niepokalanow (City of the Immaculate), a friary founded by Kolbe 25 miles west of Warsaw. John Paul, in a noontime address following the canonization, denounced the dissolution of the independent union Solidarity as "a violation of the fundamental rights of man and society." (Poland's state radio and television censored this criticism in its coverage of the ceremonies.) Next day, facing an audience...
Cero a la Izquierda, a collective of Salvadoran filmmakers, produced these documentaries about the war and its effects on life in the FMLA-controlled Morazan region in northeastern El Salvador. The first, Morazan, depicts the running of a makeshift outdoor guerilla munitions camp. It opens with a group of teenagers solemnly passing out rifles and pistols, which they then use in mock-combat drills. The fact that the FMLA would allow the filming of a place where their guns and bombs are produced plainly indicates the political orientation of the filmmakers. But this in no way detracts from the value...
...ideology. As a U.S. Chamber of Commerce lobbyist, he worked to defeat all manner of environmental regulation. In the Nixon and Ford Administrations he served a well-rounded apprenticeship: as an Interior deputy in charge of water management, as director of the department's land-buying Bureau of Outdoor Recreation and, finally, as a federal power commissioner.

Meanwhile, all week long, a favored few took their reserved seats inside Humphrey S. Finney Pavilion and fascinated onlookers gathered before outdoor monitors to view the auctions of untried yearlings for stratospheric sums. In one wild bidding session, a world-record filly price of $2.1 million was paid for a daughter of The Minstrel. After four tense evenings, traders had ponied up $36.1 million for 204 colts and fillies...
...this is it: Paradise Lakes Resort, a 184-unit, 40-acre retreat 17 miles north of Tampa. It advertises a healthful, family atmosphere, with lighted tennis and volleyball courts, an Olympic-size, 1,500-sq.-ft. swimming pool, a restaurant, two bars, a lake and a bandshell for outdoor concerts. Tenants include doctors, lawyers, teachers and clergymen. But a certain protocol must be observed. "Overt sexual behavior is unacceptable," says Bischoff. Visitors generally carry towels around to sit on "for hygiene, courtesy and just because it's comfortable." This seems somewhat less strange when one discovers that Paradise Lakes...
