Church says it had no knowledge of Walesa tapes
An official of the Roman Catholic Church denied familiarity with tapes and photos of Solidarity leader Lech Walesa in sexual situations. NBC reported that church officials were shown material before his detention last weekend. Walesa’s priest and wife rejected the smear effort, while reports suggested materials could discredit him if he seeks public life.

Parody Catalog Spoofs L.L. Bean With Absurd Gear
The Washington Post reports Alfred Gingold’s 84 page spoof book Our Catalog mimics L.L. Bean’s catalog in detail, with items like Gum Shoes, Jackass Slacks, Oiled Steel Wool Sweaters, and whimsical products such as Downhill Hibachi and Racing Sack. The real L.L. Bean, valued at $172 million last year, did not have its name used, but is clearly the target of the satire.

Senior Pentagon officials proposed a policy forcing thousands of civilian and military personnel to choose between polygraph exams or access to highly secret information. A small, August-initiated program targets SCI staff with potential for reassignment if they refuse or fail a test, while broader rules would apply across the department but not compel testing.
