...State Department aides as witty, bright, shrewd-and tough as nails. The only top member of Carter's entourage who had met him before was Brzezinski. From the Israeli Holocaust memorial, Yad Vashem, the Premier had brought copies of letters written in 1933 by Brzezinski's father Tadeusz, at the time Polish consul in Leipzig. The elder Brzezinski in those stern memos to German authorities had protested their discrimination against Jews. It was a well-meant but pointed gift, indeed, to the younger Brzezinski, whom the Israelis have tabbed as pro-Arab...
...years that Tadeusz Witold Szulc (pronounced Schulz) has reported foreign news, he has occasionally found himself between man-made calamities. Not to worry; Szulc has a talent for cultivating his own scoops and controversies. In fact, he is unique among foreign-affairs reporters. In a press corps that tends to mirror the genteel and cautious ways of diplomats, Szulc comes on like a Chicago police reporter-except for the fact that he speaks seven languages. While colleagues are parsing communiques, Szulc cultivates CIA men or pores over Air Force shipping records to find out where U.S. arms are going...
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.

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...
