Lech Walesa still leads Solidarity as Poland seeks reform

Lech Walesa, 41, remains Poland's most popular figure after Pope John Paul II. He is a former shipyard worker and symbol of the nation's desire for freedom, watched by plainclothes police while advocating workers' rights. He reflects on Solidarity's weaknesses since outlawing in 1982, aims to create economic efficiency, and says he will step down once workers' rights are secured.
