This Feb. 6, 2014 photo shows the poster for a new Polish movie about a Cold War spy Ryszard Kuklinski that opens in Poland on Friday, Feb. 7, 2014 and later this month in Britain and Ireland, in Warsaw, Poland. The riveting movie “Jack Stong,” named after Kuklinski’s CIA codename, tells how from behind the Iron Curtain, he passed some 35,000 pages of Warsaw Pact secrets to the CIA, including the communist government's plan to impose martial law in 1981 and launch a brutal crackdown on the pro-democracy Solidarity movement. He was spirited out of Poland with his wife and two sons shortly before the Dec. 13, 1981 military crackdown, and the family lived in hiding in the U.S., where both his sons died in accidents.

FILE - In this May 4, 1996 file photo, Pope John Paul II, right, is helped by his personal secretary, Stanislaw Dziwisz, as he arrives in Como, northern Italy, for a two day visit. Poles are divided between praise and condemnation of Pope John Paul II’s secretary over publishing the beloved pontiff’s personal notes against his last will and testament. John Paul ordered the notes burned after his death and put his trusted confidant, Dziwisz, in charge of the task. To everyone’s surprise, Dziwisz, now a cardinal, said recently that he “did not have the courage” to destroy the notes and is having them published as a precious insight into the inner life of the pope.
