ABERNATHY OUT AT DORM: The board of trustees at the Rev. Ralph Abernathy's alma mater, Alabama State University, has reversed a decision to name a new dormitory after the civil rights leader because of the things he wrote about Martin Luther King Jr. in his autobiography. Trustees of the Montgomery, Ala., school had voted to name one new dorm for King and the other for Abernathy but that was before the furor started over 'And the Walls Came Tumbling Down' in which Abernathy wrote that King had extra-marital affairs with two women the night before he was assassinated in Memphis, Tenn., in 1968. Editors: spelling 'Jaruzelska' is correct for daughter
FAMILY TALK: The 25-year-old daughter of Polish President Wojciech Jaruzelski is getting lots of media exposure but she doesn't like all of it. Monika Jaruzelska says an interview with The Sunday Times of London was off base in saying that she and her fathered argued over imposition of martial law in Poland in 1981. She tries to set the record straight in a Polish communist newspaper, Zycie Warszawy, by saying, 'I want to say openly that harm was done to us, me and my family.' Photos of Jaruzelska also appeared recently in the French weekly Paris Match, showing her at home with her father, in bed in a sleeveless undershirt, in front of a fireplace, in a limo and wearing a gray fur coat. Jaruzelska, an aspiring actress, says she posed for the pictures not to help herself, but to improve her father's image. 'This is also why I have always considered Western press attacks on this allegedly gloomy man in dark glasses as unfair and prejudicial,' she said.
