...between the old guard, like Carrillo, aging Party President Dolores ("La Pasionaria") Ibarruri and other seasoned apparatchiks, many of whom spent the Franco years in exile, and a younger group that remained at home. But how far can internal democracy go, particularly in a Communist party? As one Western analyst puts it, "Carrillo clearly wants it-up to a point. But can he then keep...
...pervasive was the new optimism that brokers were talking of 100-million-share days if and when the little guy joins the buying rush.

When the big copper producer was forced to divest itself of Peabody Coal by Government edict last June, savvy Wall Street analysts speculated that some or all of the $1.2 billion Kennecott received would be paid in the form of a special dividend. Instead, Chairman Milliken, apparently fearing an unfriendly takeover attempt, paid $66 a share for Carborundum. The rationale: the bigger the company, the more difficult it is to finance a raid. By paying more than twice the book value for a ho-hum company, Milliken let himself in for savage...
