...week earlier, the Polish leader's efforts to thaw relations with the West had suffered a serious setback. West German Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher had postponed a visit to Warsaw, largely because Polish officials told him it would be inappropriate to visit the grave of Father Jerzy Popieluszko, an outspoken supporter of the banned Solidarity trade union who was abducted and killed in October. The Jaruzelski government has been hurt by revelations that at least four secret-police officers were involved in the murder. The "Jablonna V" International Meeting of Journalists provided a timely opportunity for Jaruzelski...
...visit to Poland by West German Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher was to be the first by a high-level West German diplomat since martial law was declared in December 1981. But only hours before takeoff last week, a testy Genscher canceled his visit. One major reason: a Polish government suggestion that it would be inappropriate for Genscher to visit the grave of Father Jerzy Popieluszko, the Solidarity supporter who was murdered last month.

...among them is a fictional couple, both, fittingly enough, students of social anthropology. Allan Archibald, a moneyed North Shore Wasp, witnesses the murder of the reporter and on a bet undertakes to write a scholarly paper about the Chicago underworld. Irena Giron, a brilliant but unworldly girl from the Polish ghetto "back of the yards," catastrophically encourages Allan to learn more about the style and ferocity of the syndicate. Organized Crimes is part political satire, part informal history, part rumination on the Depression, part love story between the rich boy poor in spirit and the poor girl rich in perception...
