Poland's tribute to America. Warsaw's skyline, gleaming across the wide vistula, is one of the most famous in Europe. Its quaint old roofs blend with the new and modern structures and over all towers the domes of the great Russian cathedral of Alexander Nevski. It was to remove this Russian note from the Polish architecture in the skyline that the Poles at first planned to destroy the cathedral after the war. The plan was changed, however and the great domes will remain as a part of Warsaw's skyline
