1980: Shipyard Poles strike for their rights Shipyard workers in Gdansk, Poland, strike in protest over the dismissal of a trade union activist 
 Workers want to represent themselves free from Communist Party interference
Shipyard workers in Gdansk, Poland, have staged a successful strike in protest over the dismissal of trade union activist Anna Walentinowicz. The strike at the Lenin shipyard is seen as part of a growing campaign to gain political freedoms and to improve economic conditions for Poland's labour force. Numbering some 16,000, the workers secured Miss Walentinowicz's swift reinstatement and then elected her to the workers' committee, which negotiates with the Polish authorities and shipyard management. Today the committee won a number of political and economic concessions, including the promise of more accurate media coverage of the industrial unrest that has beset the country over the summer. Workers are also demanding the right to form their own genuine representative bodies instead of subscribing to official trade unions. Police Brutality The Gdansk region has a history of strike action to secure greater freedoms. In 1970, rioting shipyard workers forced the incumbent Communist Party leader, Wladyslaw Gomulka, out of office. Today the shipyard workers have persuaded the authorities to erect a monument in memory of those who died during the 1970 police brutality. The workers' key economic demands include a pay rise of 40% and family allowances equal to those enjoyed by members of Poland's security forces. There have been reports that the current party leader, Edward Gierek, was recently blamed for the unrest by a Warsaw party committee. Mr Gierek has yet to return from a holiday in the Soviet Union. Tonight Polish television appealed for calm and "level-headedness" in its first mention of "work stoppages" since the strikes began in June. In Context Edward Gierek, like his predecessor, had his political reputation ruined by the Gdansk-led labour unrest, and subsequently resigned. Poland's bid for political and social freedom grew out of strong co-operation between workers, intellectuals and its Roman Catholic Church, who worked together to spread information and resist the communist regime. In August 1980 Solidarity (Solidarnosc) was formed, the workers' first independent trade union, led by shipyard electrician Lech Walesa. But the regime installed martial law in December 1981 and Solidarity's leadership was imprisoned. Walesa was released in 1983 and awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. With the Gorbachev years of glasnost and perestroika in the Soviet Union, a gradual process of liberalisation emerged. By 1988 Poland's economy hit rock bottom. After talks with Solidarity the Communist Party agreed to share power. In 1989 the first post-communist coalition government was formed. Lech Walesa went on to lead the Polish people as their first non-communist President in 1990. >>August 14, 2003 at 12:50:16 PM GMT+8
1979
1979: Disgraced ex-MP released from jail John Stonehouse, the former government minister who faked his own death, has been freed from prison. 
 The former MP made a hasty exit from prison
John Stonehouse, the former government minister who faked his own death, has been freed from prison. Mr Stonehouse was led out of jail an hour before other prisoners due for release on Tuesday morning. He was allowed to leave earlier on health grounds as he is still recovering from open heart surgery and has had three heart attacks during his time in prison. Mr Stonehouse was released on bail after serving three years of a seven-year term for theft, fraud and deception. The charges related to a string of failed fraudulent businesses set up by the ex-Walsall MP before his disappearance in 1974. He stood trial in 1976 after being arrested in Australia. No family reunion Last year his first application for parole was turned down. Several suitcases and boxes containing Mr Stonehouse's personal possessions and documents were loaded into a car which arrived to collect him at dawn. But there was no family reunion outside the prison gates. Both his mother and his former secretary, Sheila Buckley, who was with him when he was arrested in Australia, stayed away. Mr Stonehouse sprinted towards the waiting car with his head covered by a jacket and hid from photographers by laying down on the back seat. It is believed Mr Stonehouse plans to write a book about his experiences. In Context The John Stonehouse case captured the public imagination because it mirrored a popular 70s television character, Reginald Perrin, who also faked his own death. As well as leaving behind a pile of clothes on a Miami beach to fake his drowning, John Stonehouse also left behind a wife and a daughter. He re-emerged in Melbourne, Australia with a new identity and his former secretary, Sheila Buckley. He was captured by Australian police on Christmas eve 1974. They wrongly believed they had caught the missing Lord Lucan who was wanted in England for murder. John Stonehouse and Sheila Buckley married in 1981. He died in 1988 aged 62. >>August 14, 2003 at 12:48:21 PM GMT+8

Born in July 29
Born on this in 1883, Benito Mussolini was an obscure socialist magazine editor during the years before World War I, after which he organized a new anti-socialist Fascisti party which led him to power in 1922. A flamboyant figure, he shrewdly used modern media and propaganda techniques to foster a cult of personality about himself, then led Italy into disaster with his alliance with Hitler during World War II. He is seen in an authoritative portrait, emphasized by the low angle of the camera. 
on this day in 1892, William Powell was a smooth, suave, debonair leading man in Hollywood for much of the 1930s and 1940s, but it is for his witty repartee with Myrna Loy in The Thin Man and its five sequels that he is chiefly remembered. Late in his career he also contributed a droll, knowing performance to Mister Roberts. He is seen in a 1930s portrait. 
Born in Toronto, Canada on this day in 1938, Peter Jennings has enjoyed a successful career on American television as a polite, cool, and unflappable broadcast journalist. The anchor of ABCs 'World News Tonight' since 1983, he has proven himself to be a poised and sometimes condescending interviewer of politicians and world leaders. He is seen amidst a crowd at a 1992 news event.
