Next Gomulka organized a celebration in Warsaw's National Theater on the 23rd anniversary of Warsaw's uprising against the Nazis during the occupation. On hand to preside was Police Chief General Tadeusz Pietrzak, who rammed through a resolution that said, "the rulers of Israel have now allied themselves to the most reactionary neo-Hitlerite circles in the German Federal Republic"-a bit of the absurd more likely to confuse than rouse any anti-Semite left in Poland. Undaunted, the opposition to Gomulka continued to stand firm. Last week a top Polish army general, Ignacy Blum, was fired...
Newest discovery is "Brutalist" Norbert Tadeusz, son of a Polish-descended Dortmund coal miner; only one year out of the Düsseldorfs liberal Academy of Fine Arts, he has already been represented in nine shows, become a collector's favorite. Tadeusz' teacher, Joseph Beuys, is also out of the ordinary. A onetime Hitler Youth and World War II Stuka pilot, Beuys has undergone a characteristic postwar metamorphosis to become Düsseldorfs reigning neo-Dada hero. He is celebrated for his Chaplinesque smile, battered Homburg, octopuslike drawings, sculptures made of chocolate and lard, for the splendiferous happenings...
Died. General Tadeusz Komorowski, 71, Polish resistance hero in World War II, best remembered as "General Bor," a tall, wiry cavalry officer who went underground in 1939, led the tragic Warsaw uprising in the summer of 1944, when 40,000 ill-equipped members of the Polish resistance fought a doomed battle against four German divisions for 63 days while Russian troops halted their advance to watch the slaughter from only ten miles away, after which Bor charged Russia with cruel betrayal, claiming the Poles had been promised aid if they rose; of a heart attack; in Woughton on the Green...

If enough such statements "come pouring out after someone is shot or blown up," he wrote, "it is almost as good as solving the crime." When a Polish alder man proposed renaming an expressway after the Polish General Tadeusz Andrzej Bonawentura Kosciuszko, Royko explained why the idea would never work. "In fact, 98% of all policemen cannot spell it, so it would be impossible for anyone to get a ticket...
...that tested all their talents-the overture of Mozart's The Magic Flute. Chopin's Concerto No. 2 in F Minor, a recitative and duet for tenor and soprano from Mozart's Don Giovanni. Then, as a harrowing surprise treat, each was given the score to Tadeusz Baird's Czetry Eseje-a contemporary work none of them had seen before-and told to be on the podium in four minutes, ready to conduct. Six survived. Said Chief Judge Bernstein darkly: ''One provocative fact: there is not one American among the six finalists...
