...step would have been unthinkable a few decades ago, when Poland's Communist bosses did not hesitate to put Roman Catholic Primate Stefan Wyszynski under house arrest, imprison hundreds of priests and nuns, or confiscate scores of schools and convents.

Paying for the services did not, moreover, guarantee that they would be available. Green and tan credentials issued to reporters were not valid for such major events as the Pope's first meeting with Polish General Wojciech Jaruzelski and the memorial Mass for Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski. For those occasions, the government issued blue passes to a small fraction of the accredited reporters. Said Reporter Barry James of U.P.I.: "Having a press card entitled you to go into the press center and watch events on closed-circuit television."
