BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN tore dozens of towns apart two years ago. The rock star often varied his performances during his most celebrated U.S. tour. But the result was consistent: With a devastated crowd as proof, Springsteen affirmed nightly his status as the quintessential American rock hero.

Although the government insisted that the demonstrations enjoyed no wide popular support, the world had been given vivid proof of the Polish people's determination to win back the freedoms that were crushed by the military regime of General Wojciech Jaruzelski. Neither side could claim a clear-cut victory in this round. The confrontations seemed likely to continue and to increase...
