		Stanislaw Kania was the Polish general secretary of the Communist party central committee.
		"Kania is better then Vania" meant that a native Polish homebred apparatchik is better than a Russian "Vania" on the streets of Warsaw, which would include the recurrence of the Prague and Budapest Soviet oppressions.
		However, today, I am convinced that "Yossi is better than Bassi", just as "Kania* is better than Vania." Lie and hypocrisy are better than foolishness and suicide.

		Stanislaw entered national lore as a potent symbol of resistance to illegitimate state authority--an allegorical weapon that proved especially effective against the communist regime.
		Confounding expectations that he would be an obedient servant of his mistress, Stanislaw August encouraged the modernization of his realm's ramshackle political system and achieved a temporary moratorium on use of the individual veto in the Sejm (1764-66).
		In 1809, under Józef Poniatowski, nephew of Stanislaw II Augustus, the duchy reclaimed the land taken by Austria in the second partition.

		Kania, in a private meeting with Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev, told him that military intervention would be a disaster for the Soviet Union as well as Poland.
		Kania went on to talk of strengthening ties between the United States and China as well as the deteriorating situation in Afghanistan.

		This vital intelligence was immediately passed on to the White House, 10 Downing Street in London, the Elys6e Palace in Paris, and the Vatican (the latter because of the crucial role of the Polish-born Pope John Paul II).
		There are grounds for reports that neither Kania nor Jaruzelski was briefed in advance on the police violence at Bydgoszcz; this supports the probability that the action was an independent provocation organized by the KGB.
		Kania had painted a dismal picture of the situation, and it was clear to their visitors that he and Jaruzelski were at odds.

		Workers and intel-lectuals in Poland demagogically assert that their expectations after the meeting between comrade Kania and comrade Brezhnev were not fulfilled.
		Comrade Kania assured us that the party and state leadership of Poland would not fall back a step further but the Supreme Court cancelled the decision of the court of justice in Warsaw.
		Comrade Kania gave me to understand that in Poland there also was the possibility of arming a sizeable part of the working class.

		After the liquidation by terror of the remnants of the underground organizations, the political attack was directed at the Polish Peasant Party.
		The PUWP's successive first secretaries, Stanislaw Kania and Wojciech Jaruzelski were under double pressure: from the conservative party apparatus and the Soviet Union, which itself was in the declining phase of Leonid Brezhnev's rule.
		After eighteen months of the conflict-ridden co-existence between the Solidarity and the PUWP, of blocking reforms by the party, of provocations and the deteriorating economic situation and strikes, martial law was imposed at midnight on December 12, 1981.

		Bolstered by that agreement, Solidarity held an extraordinary convention in June run on democratic principles which vowed to reform a provenly bankrupt political and economic system, and put Poland firmly back on its feet.
		Swept up in the maelstrom of reform, the Polish Communist Party held its congress in July and, in an unprecedented move for an East Bloc country, elected Stanislaw Kania party secretary by secret ballot from a slate of candidates.
		By October, the pressure brought to bear by the saber-rattling Kremlin proved too much, and Communist party boss Kania, the moderate and reluctant reformer, was ousted in favor of Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski, a move roundly applauded in Moscow.

	Slons in America
		As the nineteenth century turned into the twentieth, the five children of Franciszka and Jan Slon, four brothers and their sister, decided to leave behind everything that was familiar and cross a vast ocean to restart their lives in a strange new land.
		Today we can only guess about the personal motivations of Katarzyna, Marcin, Stanislaw, Jozef, and Antoni, but we do know the historical facts about the place they left and the place to which they came.
		In the late 1890's when Katarzyna (Slon) Stobnicki and her husband Franciszek left the village of Debica for the port of entry at Ellis Island, Poland as an independent political entity did not even exist.

		The power struggle between Poland's newly independent labor movement and the Warsaw regime of Party Boss Stanislaw Kania has become an international suspense serial, one showdown giving way to the next, each resolved in the nick of time.
		Although he apparently has Moscow's backing, Kania is dealing from a very weak hand.
		On the one hand, the Kania government has been moderate so far and may be worth shoring up.

		For years, official censorship and massive propaganda campaigns have kept those most directly affected by these events from having a full accounting of them and of the roles played by various actors.
		Thus, Solidarity figures Zbigniew Bujak, Karol Modzelewski and Janusz Onyszkiewicz could confront ex-Party and government leaders Wojciech Jaruzelski, Stanislaw Kania and Mieczyslaw Rakowski about their decision to impose martial law in December 1981.
		Hungarian revolutionary Maria Wittner, who spent 14 years in prison for her role as a street fighter in 1956, was able to grill former officials from Radio Free Europe whose broadcasts arguably misled anti-regime rebel into expecting Western military help against the Red Army.

		There was a measure of understatement in the urgent message of the Polish party: "All Poles are engulfed by profound anxiety."
		The crisis atmosphere eased somewhat at week's end, after leaders of the Warsaw Pact nations, including Polish Party Boss Stanislaw Kania, were summoned to Moscow for a secret summit.
		They later issued a rambling communiqué expressing confidence that Poles "will be able to overcome the present difficulties." The statement also noted that Poland "can firmly count on" the support of its East bloc brethren, meaning that the Soviets were still ready to step in if need be.
