ment with any degree of
freedom in the Communist
imperium — "Solidarity" in

ken up politically for Po-
land's people, but again "the
civilized world" — an in-

dignation that Israel has

thousands of PLO ter-
rorists in Lebanon, who
had been driven out of
Jordan for attempting to
overthrow King Hussein,
de-stabilized that society.
