When Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski arrived two days before the ceremonies, he was nearly mobbed by frantic tens of thousands, chanting wildly "Long live the Pope"* and singing the ancient Polish hymn We Want...
...parades for Gniezno and Poznan on the very days last week when official church celebrations got under way in those two cities.

Even in Rumania, "relaxation" is absurdly juxtaposed with remnants...
...flesh (and reveal a lot of their own at the same time), the Freedomites periodically set fire to their shacks, then stripped to the buff and hurled their clothing into the flames. But then, under the leadership of a hot-eyed fanatic named Peter Lordly Verigin, self-appointed "Son" Stefan Sorokin, and a 240-lb. stripper called "Big Fanny" Storgoff, the Freedomite flames turned outward...
