Miners End Picket Line as Christmas Spirit Spreads
Associated Press reports Britain's coal miners paused picketing for Christmas Eve as 60,000 workers enjoyed holiday bonus pay while 120,000 strikers faced lean wages. In Rome Pope John Paul II visited St. Peter's hospital and addressed crowds, as Bethlehem lit trees under Israeli security. Four Britons held in Libya sang carols at a service, and Polish Solidarity activists began a four day fast protesting a colleague's arrest. In Korea, Christmas lights glowed near the demilitarized zone, visible from North Korea.
