...protests were hardly a replay of the nationwide strikes of August 1980 that gave birth to Solidarity and catapulted Walesa to world prominence. Last week's brief and sporadic protests seemed more like a gesture of frustration than a show of force by the union. Still they were proof that Solidarity was alive-if not entirely well-after a harsh winter of repression...

Yet this, too, is insufficient. He seeks further definition in 1977, when he journeys to Hawaii to replay house guest to Clare, now half-blinded by cataracts, living in "a fur-lined rut" but still capable of casting her spell...

The leak also raised the pressure in the secondary loop, triggering a safety valve, which vented the now radioactive steam into the atmosphere. At the same time, slightly radioactive...

To begin with, the All Savers Certificates are available only in the form of deposits at banks, S and Ls and credit unions. Moreover, the All Savers program was designed as a temporary measure to aid the ailing financial industry and is due to expire...
