| 5. | Lech Walesa (Biography)
VHS Tape (A&E Home Video)
He was one of the great figures of dissent during the dissolution of the Soviet empire. Like many of the former Soviet-Bloc leaders of his generation, he has not fared as well in the new political climate. While Lech Walesa became president of Poland, he is best known as the founder of the Solidarity movement. One of the first visible signals of the weakening of the Soviet Union, Solidarity's started as an illegal worker's organization. Less than a decade later it was the most important political party in the nation. From his first demonstrations to losing his re-election bid in 1995, BIOGRAPHY® documents his remarkable political career. At every step, we'll hear from those who lived and worked aside Walesa, while footage documents the pivotal moments in his life.

| 6. | Pope John Paul II: Reaching Out Across Borders (Reuters Prentice Hall Series on World Issues)
Hardcover (192 pages) by Journalists of Reuters & Lech Walesa (Reuters Prentice Hall)
In this book, Reuters correspondents bring together fresh, unique, and first-hand insights about Pope John Paul II, a vivid portrait of him as a man -- and a realistic, forward-looking assessment of his achievements, his legacy, and the Church he leaves to his successors. You will meet the man who, before joining the priesthood, was an athlete, an actor, a soldier, a stonecutter, and a published poet - who changed history by taking on Communism in Poland, then later denounced the spiritual impoverishment of untrammeled capitalism - who transformed the Church's tortured relationship with the Jewish community. You will meet the moral conservative and reformer who led the Church into its third millennium, watching him face storms of debate and scandal within his church, as he carries its message of faith to every corner of the world, and presides over its explosive growth throughout the developing world. This is the only book on Pope John Paul II to draw upon the extraordinary global resources of Reuters, the world's leading news agency. Notable amongst those resources: Vatican correspondent Philip Pullella, a world-renowned expert on Pope John Paul II who organized Reuters' highly-successful exhibition of Reuters photographs of the Pope that has been traveling through Europe and will appear throughout the United States to coincide with this book's publication.

| 9. | Lech Walesa / TIME Cover: December 29, 1980, Art Poster by TIME Magazine
Kitchen (barewalls)
The most eagerly awaited event in the editorial cycle at TIME Magazine is always the selection of the cover. The best covers capture the zeitgeist of the week while surviving the judgment of history. As browsing this collection of TIME cover art prints shows, TIME is as good a record as any of who and what mattered over the past 80-plus years. And so when TIME captures a person, an event or a trend within its iconic red borders, the magazine is adding that extra dose of significance that no other publication can quite match. That is one reason why the original artwork for more than 800 TIME covers now resides in the National Portrait Gallery in Washington. Thanks to an amazing roster of artists, photographers and graphic designers, from TIME's earliest charcoal drawings of cover subjects to its later black-and-white photography to the more recent paintings and stunning color photography, TIME covers have always been, sometimes quite literally, works of great art. And, while the times may change, the TIME cover, with its iconic red border, has never lost its power to immediately send the signal that this person or event or idea is important to our lives, that in some way history is being made before our eyes.- Print Title: Lech Walesa
