...flowers lying in the center of Warsaw's Victory Square. This floral tribute to Polish Primate Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski, who died last year, has become the most potent political symbol in Poland today. Three times the government has swept it away, and three times it has been rebuilt by the crowds who come to pray and intone hymns.

In October 1973 a fire there destroyed 360 buildings over 18 city blocks. Now 65% of the fire site has been rebuilt, and the rest is scheduled for new development...
