-Caveat Lector- Polish group wants central Warsaw square renamed for Ronald Reagan 12.05 p.m. ET (1606 GMT) July 4, 1999 By Andrzej Stylinski, Associated Press WARSAW, Poland (AP) ‹ About 100 prominent Poles inaugurated a committee Sunday to rename a central Warsaw square for Ronald Reagan to honor the former president for his contribution in defeating communism. "Reagan was the main author of the victory of the free world over the Evil Empire,'' said Solidarity Chairman Marian Krzaklewski in a letter accepting honorary patronage over the committee. Although Reagan has never been to Poland, Krzaklewski said the president was a great friend of Poles and had helped Solidarity in its struggle against the communist regime in the 1980s. The Committee to Commemorate President Ronald Reagan, headed by Deputy Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski, wants the Warsaw City Council to rename Constitution Square, a large plaza of Stalinst-era housing blocks and shops at the intersection of Marszalkowska, Warynskiego and Piekna streets. The current name refers to the 1952 communist constitution, which was replaced two years ago by a new, democratic one. The square bears the name of an "invalid constitution of the country which no longer exists'' ‹ thanks in part to Reagan, said committee spokesman Jozef Szaniawski. If the group succeeds, Reagan would join George Washington and Woodrow Wilson as U.S. presidents with Warsaw plazas named after them. Reagan, who turned 88 on Feb. 6, is well regarded here for his support for Solidarity as well as sanctions against Poland's communist rulers after the regime imposed martial law in December 1981 to crush Poland's independent labor movement. After Solidarity toppled the totalitarian regime, Poles renamed many streets and public buildings to drop communist-era names. Constitution Square is one of the last remaining names in Warsaw linked to the communist era. ================================================================= Kaddish, Kaddish, Kaddish, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> *Mike Spitzer* <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ~~~~~~~~ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. ================================================================= DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
