Torpid Bureaucracy. Poland's new Foreign Minister is Stefan Jedrychowski, 58, a Politburo member and head of the state planning commission for the past twelve years. As an officer of the Soviet-sponsored political group that Stalin imposed on Poland in 1944-and a trusted Gomulka lieutenant-Jedrychowski can be expected to change none of the pro-Moscow fervor of Poland's foreign policy. But change may be in store for the nation's flailing economy now that Jedrychowski has left its top planning post...
Right Free Country. For countries that need immigrants, the swarms of Czechoslovak professionals and skilled technicians at loose ends provided a field day. Australian recruiters happily chartered three jetliners to bring hundreds of refugees to Sydney, including doctors, engineers, dentists, university professors, graphic designers and High Diving Champion Stefan Hanny. "These people could make an immeasurable contribution to Australia's progress if they can be allowed to practice their professions," said Immigration Minister Billy Snedden.

Of the women--who are peripheral in this play--Zoe Kamitses' Duchess of Gloucester remains in the memory for her one powerful scene in the first act. John Duffy's fanfares and Jennifer Tipton's lighting serve the play capably...
...deserve it more than Author Grant Gilmore, 57. In a profession uncommonly full of intelligent men, the University of Chicago law professor draws an embarrassment of praise from normally reserved colleagues. His sweeping scholarship allows him to "accomplish the impossible," says New York University's Lawrence King, while Stefan Riesenfeld of the University of California praises his writing style, which "makes study a pleasure instead of a chore." One of Gilmore's students calls him "the most popular classroom professor at the law school"; another thinks that he has "the most brilliant mind." Friend and Fellow Faculty Member...
