Pulling the plug on the Great Electrician
Article Abstract:
Lech Walesa has been extremely influential in political developments in Poland over the last 15 years. He has been president for the last five years, but now voters have decided that he should be replaced with Aleksander Kwasniewski, who was a minister in the last Polish Communist government. Some Poles fear that this will split the country between the pro-Western forces of traditional Catholic patriotism and the modernisers and Marxists, who may possibly be looking to cooperate in reviving the Russian Empire. However, the real reason for Walesa's defeat was that most people did not see him as the right man for the presidency.

In a burst of the pipes, England's churches give voice. Cromwell would not be amused

The parish church in Romsey, England, contains an organ constructed in 1858. This was one of the first large three-manual organs in the UK. The neo-Classical church in Great Packington, England, contains a beautiful organ which is simple and has hardly been altered. The organ at the church in Finedon, England, was inaugurated in 1717, while the pipework on the organ at Framlingham, England, dates back to 1674. The organ at Wymondham, England, dates from 1793.
