...decor and attentive staff have been enjoyed by Presidents George Bush and Jacques Chirac--not, mind you, at the same time. Traditional Polish sour soup and a sausage cost $8; Polish-style duck and sour green apple, $32. Not far away, on Ulica (Polish for street) Belwederska, the Restauracja Polska-Tradycja, or Restaurant Polish-Tradition, serves saddle of deer and homemade dumplings ($20) and fresh smoked fish from the lake region ($7). For those who prefer dancing and a light (not necessarily Polish) meal, Labo, on the fashionable Ulica Mazowiecka, is among Warsaw's most popular clubs. This spring, starting...

Such deals were not uncommon for Polish journalists under the Soviet-backed regime, and in one document his handlers complain that he never gave them anything of value. With Kapuscinski unavailable for comment, the spying allegations will remain a cloud over his career. But he was acutely...
...Maybe. But the only evidence of a strange alliance in Poland is among ultra-right parties staunchly opposed to communism. The newspapers that leaked the stories about Wielgus's collaboration, such as the weekly Gazeta Polska, are all on the far right of the political spectrum. Wielgus's case may lead to fresh accusations against other members of the Polish church. The Vatican has hinted that new revelations may be coming and a new book about collaborating priests is due out in Poland in March...
