- Freedom is a family matter for LECH WALESA. He stayed in
- Warsaw to attend the July 4 session marking Solidarity's entry
- into parliament, while his wife DANUTA journeyed to Philadelphia
- to accept an Independence Day award in his behalf. Nobel
- laureate Walesa received the city's first Liberty Medal -- and
- its $100,000 cash prize. JAROSLAW, 12, one of the couple's eight
- children, listened proudly as Danuta read aloud her husband's
- speech in Polish. Calling liberty a common responsibility,
- Walesa warned that no one can ever be free who calmly looks on
- at another's captivity.
