MAN IN THE NEWS: Tadeusz Mazowiecki
A Catholic at the Helm

Cardinal's Meetings Noted

Indeed, as his official appointment seemed likely, some were suggesting that there might be a relationship between his getting the job and the series of unusual meetings that Cardinal Glemp held this week with the Communist President, Wojciech Jaruzelski, and, earlier, with Moscow's Ambassador in Warsaw, Vladmir I. Brovikov. A writer for a Catholic journal, reflecting Polish sensibilities for history, noted that it was the first time Poland's Primate had met with an Ambassador from Moscow since the 18th century.

Mr. Mazowiecki sought to give an answer to a question on his Catholicism today when he was asked by a reporter whether he would be a Catholic prime minister or a prime minister of Solidarity.

''Is there any contradiction between the two?'' he retorted. ''I would like to reconcile the two.''
