Doing - policy: the new man who was successful in Katowice and Silesia, will repeat these successes for all of Poland: the Polish population has their hopes on Edward Gierek, who replaced the hapless leader of Gomulka as threatened civil war in the country. Gierek, for years Crown Prince of party, is regarded in the West as pragmatist and technocrat. The robust and real coach spent his youth in Belgium and in France. After his Overlyng he quickly made a career party. His cautious reform - politics as Party Secretary of Katowice earned him the Sympathe of the population.
The new leader of the party has a reputation as a financial expert and talented Organizer to defend. Poland hopes that he will confirm this reputation through measurable results.

In the rolling Hotel conquer the Sahara. Currency of a German travel company, which specializes in trans - Sahara - trips. The rugged Hoggar - solid in the heart of the desert, which is as large as Europe - stopover on the Explorer - travel across a continent from sand.
We met residents on Tuaregs, the nomadic origin. And we encountered Europeans, who learned about the desert decades ago and have since dwindled her. To them the writer René Gardi, is with the Sahara books / films all over the world made a name.
(Original sound): "I'm really one of the fools that has lost its soul in the Sahara. The strange thing it is too. that no one just comes out of this country as he entered.
