Work stoppages also broke out at the massive Nowa Huta steel complex, near Cracow. There were even reports of strike activity in the mining region of Silesia, Gierek's birthplace and political stronghold. At the Gdansk shipyard, which remained the nerve center of the Baltic upheaval, workers set up a central committee that claimed to represent the striking factories and enterprises along the coast...
Bradley arrived as early as 3 p.m. in the CBS "ready room" to have his face made up. His special equipment: a battery pack around the waist, a headset and a pair of steel-toed combat boots. "After being stepped on once too often during the Republican Convention, I decided I'd wear these to this one." Every day he had several story ideas ready before the live broadcast began.

Behind a 1½-ton steel and reinforced concrete door and enclosed within 4 ft.-thick walls, the room is equipped with a hand-cranked ventilator that sucks in outside air and could filter out radioactive dust. Most evenings, the fare includes steaks, omelets and salads. Come the holocaust, though, Deur's village clientele will...
