Poles push for a say in economy under Gierek regime
In six years since Edward Gierek rose to power Poland saw rising living standards and tax cuts, yet strikes over food prices and clashes with the church show volatility. Protests erupted nationwide after a price hike, with police friction at Radom and Ursus.

Cardinal Wyszynski’s status looms as Vatican talks continue.
