“Eastern Europe:Still Unresolved”\n\nJAN.7  \nJAN.9  \n# FRIDAY FLASHES—December\n\nArchibald Cox  \n12,1980  \nFrom Address by:  \nChairman  \nDR.PAULZINNER,Professor ofPolitical Science,University ofCalifornia,Davis.  \n## Common Cause\n\n\"How MoneyTalks inCongre$$”  \nA specter is haunting Moscow—thespecter of trade unionism in Poland.It isclear even now that the communist worldwill never again be quite the same,however how different it will be remainsto be seen.  \nThis year,which began in the chillwinter-shadow of the Soviet invasion ofAfghanistan may yet end in the frost ofSoviet military intervention in Poland—although I doubt this will happen.I do notbelieve that the Soviet Union will takesuch a fateful step.  \nDr.Walter E.Hoadley  \nArchibald Cox was named chairman ofCommon Cause in February of this yearand is the Carl M.Loeb University Profes-sor at Harvard.His Commonwealth Clubaddress will focus on the impact thespecial interest groups have in fighting foror against Washington legislation,and howthese organizations exert individual in-fluence through campaign contributions.  \nTo intervene the third time,not countingthe East Berlin riots of 1953,in the inter-nal affairs of a fraternal communist coun-ty.which has been brought to the brink ofbankruptcy,would entail far reaching ad-verse consequences affecting the SovietUnion's status in the world and shaking itinternally as well.Not that the SovietUnion might not be tempted to intervene,but the tangible costs of intervention arepredictably greater than either in 1956 orin 1968.Both,the local situation and theinternational configuration are vastlydifferent.  \nExecutive Vice PresidentChief EconomistBank of America  \n\"Has TheComeback ofAmerica Begun?”  \nAdvance Ticket Sale Luncheon
