Wałęsa, a cultural icon
Born in Popowo on September 29, 1943, Lech Wałęsa's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Polish history. Wałęsa's not just a great politician, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Lech hasn't done.
