...month free. It goes to more than 100 countries and outsells all other monthly magazines in Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Colombia, Finland, Italy, Mexico, Peru, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Uruguay, Venezuela-and, of course, the U.S. Last week the Reader's Digest-circ. 22.8 million-proudly observed its 40th birthday with a 300-page anniversary issue...

You have made him a laughingstock of intelligence . . . a stench in the nostrils of the gods of the ionosphere...

Across this tense scene that hovers between sun and storm is written, in an elegant 19th century hand, the signature "F. Chopin." A poster for an exhibition commemorating the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Polish Communist Party is a subtle and muted tribute to those who once risked their lives for what was supposed to be a noble cause. It is a simple collage of a torn piece of red banner plus scraps of leaflets and crude slogans...
