...John Quero, manager of Warsaw's Hotel Rialto, agrees. Quero sees Poland as an emerging "niche" weekend destination, "exciting and different from London, Paris, Rome." The Rialto (starting at $263 a night) is tailored to that kind of visitor. Poland's first boutique hotel, it opened last year as an alternative to the other five-star hotels and has since won acclaim for its spare, Art Deco decor and excellent cuisine.

His self-imposed imprisonment ended last week when Generalissimo Francisco Franco ordered an amnesty for all survivors of the losing Republican side in the Spanish Civil War of three decades...

It is close enough to shore (just over 200 miles) for them to chug out, ice down a load of cod, haddock and halibut, and get back in five to six days. If foreign trawlers continued to shove them off Quero, Canadians would have to go twice as far, to the Grand Bank off Newfoundland, for less profitable salt...

Ten affidavits received from masters and mates of fisher men told of damage done but had not said what foreign trawlers had done it. Moreover, the Quero Bank was outside Canada's three-mile limit...
...solution for Ottawa was: extend Canada's fishing rights clear out through the continental shelf, and thus bring Quero under Canadian jurisdiction. A simpler solution: patrol the Bank to protect the rights of Canadian fishermen. Last week the R.C.M.P. "cruiser" French was out belatedly on just such an assignment...
