When Meese went to Washington in 1981, he put his five-bedroom house in La Mesa, near San Diego, up for sale and bought another home in McLean, a fashionable Virginia suburb.

The demonstration that unexpectedly erupted last week in the Church of St. Joseph the Worker, a parish in the Warsaw industrial suburb of Ursus, recalled dozens of similar protests during the bitter days of martial law. But in one respect it was remarkably different: for the first time Poles gathered to show their displeasure not with the Premier, Wojciech Jaruzelski, but with Jozef Cardinal Glemp, Primate of the influential Roman Catholic Church...
