The last in a series of fourprogrammes. Decision
Communist head of state,
General Jaruzelski, is forced to quit Belvedere, the presidential palace. But with his departure new dangers threaten Polish stability. The election was to be aggressive, even 'dirty'. Both Walesa and his present arch rival,
Mazowiecki, quickly found their plans disrupted by a self-styled millionaire emigre from Canada. Unexpected support by the voters put, for some, a question mark over the Polish road to democracy. 9 PICTURE STORY: page 53

Starring Ron Silver, Imogen Stubbs, Daniel J Travanti, Hart Bochner
1950s Hollywood: the McCarthy senate committee is conducting a witch-hunt for supposed communists in the entertainment industry and betrayal is in the air. For three friends this proves to be a disaster - for the writer who must work incognito for the emerging ITV in England; for the musician now living in England, a painful renewal of old wounds; and for the star a final performance.
