...biggest economic shake-up of Gomulka's reign, Jedrychowski's No. 2 man and two Deputy Premiers concerned with economic affairs were given other jobs. Appointed to the planning commission were three outside men - including a new chairman, Economist Jozef Kulesza - whose views appear to be more flexible than those of their predecessors. In addition, Politburo Member Boleslaw Jaszczuk was given the task of overseeing all economic development in Poland. Whether the new men can engineer the sweeping changes that Poland really needs remains to be seen. But the switches seem to indicate that the regime has finally...

ABC management fought the takeover bid, asking for a court injunction and a hearing by the Federal Communications Commission...
Among those who have lost their jobs in the nationwide shake-up are the "peace priests," who were induced by Novotny to break with the Vatican and run the country's Roman Catholic churches. The old Communists had demanded that all clergy swear allegiance to the government, and arrested those who refused. But now thousands of priests who were forced to work in factories and on farms have returned to their flocks. A certain amount of private business is tolerated. Jerry Herdglotz, 47, for example, now drives his own Opel Olympia sedan as a private entrepreneur, makes...
