Lech Who...? A fool and his zlotys are soon parted........ Pole Invests Savings in Walesa's Pipe WARSAW, Poland (Reuters) - A Polish man spent a quarter of his life's savings to buy a pipe used by former Solidarity trade union hero and ex-President Lech Walesa, Gazeta Wyborcza daily reported Tuesday. The Pole, a tailor identified only by his first name Jan, took 10,500 zlotys ($2,296) from his 40,000 zloty savings to buy the pipe in an auction for a children's charity. Walesa was an heavy cigarette smoker in the early 1980s, when, as a shipyard electrician, he led Solidarity's struggle against an oppressive communist regime. He turned to the pipe to cut down his nicotine intake. ``Lech Walesa is my man. Nobody's smarter and the pipe is great. ... It is my insurance policy,'' Gazeta quoted Jan as saying. He said he planned to auction off the pipe in a few years time for a big profit.
