...festering misery and hatred of the Polish people for what they have suffered under Communism broke dramatically into the light of day last week. Twelve young men, brought to trial for their part in the revolt of factory workers at Poznan (TIME, July 9, et seq.)poured forth a torrent of testimony against the secret police and the Communist system.

(In 1953, Versailles' first year, some 180,000 people saw it, and by last year the entire original production cost of $125,000 was paid off.) Georges Van Parys, one of France's best-known movie composers, did the music for the simpler spectacle at Compiègne, the rural pleasure dome of Napoleon III and Empress Eugénie. Other pageants are staged at Avignon, 14th...
