And you think we have problems in the old USA .

Today's edition of the Wshington Post (10/3/99) contains an article, "A
Battle for Poland's Past," which discusses the continuing conflict in
Poland over to whom the land first appropriated by the Nazis/communists
and then reclaimed by Poland should belong.

One quote: "The government estimates that it faces 170,000 claims from
former owners or their descendants....The total value of the potential
claims runs to tens of billions of dollars." (section A, pages 23-24.)

The Post is available on-line, although sans graphics (which in this
case add nothing), at
