...inch vibrators, lamps with tongues, ad infinitum--as well as a gallery chronicling the good doctor's 9,999 conquests. Snaporaz browses, flipping switches and enjoying the recordings of female groans, grunts, and squeals of pleasure, and then joins in the celebration of Zubercock's ten-thousandth performance. A troop of policewomen sporting highheeled boots and skin-tight, wicked uniforms disperses the party prematurely...
...prospects for Soviet-American negotiations. Commented the Neue Ruhr Zeitung: "Haig repaired the china that was smashed a few days earlier by Secretary Weinberger." But Cap keeps smashing away. In Washington last week he told reporters that arms-control talks were contingent on the further reduction of Soviet troop levels near Poland. The State Department had to send messages to NATO capitals reassuring them of America's commitment to renewed negotiations. Haig publicly stated that Soviet-American talks are "under active consideration" and that an announcement would be made soon on resuming negotiations-a clear refutation of Weinberger...
Every school-day morning on the Lilly Bridge near Altoona, Pa., children go through a poignant ritual that matches the plight of those commuters. A yellow bus parks just short of the decrepit 57-year-old structure, the doors swing open and its young passengers troop across the bridge on foot.

This is not to say that the Soviets have announced the curtailment of their troop maneuvers simply because the Poles are showing signs of becoming their own oppressors. To the contrary; many Poles seem to grow more obstreperous by the day, to the point that Lech Walesa, whose eyes gleamed with anarchy last summer, when he seemed to represent the extremes of rebellion, often appears now like any bedraggled labor negotiator, cursing out the hotheads. But the Poles and their present government, which is far more scared of the Soviets than Solidarity appears to be, are simply in a bind...
