...official trade union in the southern city of Rzeszow, a drab concrete building that has been occupied for three weeks by members of Solidarity and Rural Solidarity, a sign says SOLIDARITY IS MORE THAN JUST A NAME. In fact the united front put up by the Rzeszow chapter of Solidarity appears to have the authorities there stymied. On the one hand, they have been unable to coax the occupiers out. On the other, they are equally unwilling to grant their main demand: negotiations toward legitimizing the farmers' union. The result is a standoff. Last week TIME Correspondent Richard Hornik...
...Another chapter in Chrysler's struggle for survival was concluded last week, when the Government's Loan Guarantee Board gave preliminary approval to an additional $400 million in federally backed loans for the automaker.

This is the Whitman who splashes in the bathtub, sleeps late, and depends on a cane to move around. In the second chapter, Kaplan describes Whitman's last days. The rest of the biography takes Whitman's life in chronological order from his birth in chapter three, so our last picture of the poet frames the 65-year-old moving into his Camden house. Kaplan's stately and elegant concluding line leaves...
