...several tense days before Madrid returned to an outward calm, plainclothesmen patrolled the streets, and thousands of grey-uniformed, Tommy gun-toting police stood by for instant duty. Foreigners were halted and asked to show proof of their identity. Prizewinning Cinema Director Juan Antonio Bardem (noted for his outspoken film Death of a Cyclist) was picked up while making a new picture with U.S. Filmactress Betsy (Marty) Blair, wife of Hollywood's Gene Kelly. While the Falangist newspaper Arriba hysterically blamed the "hostile foreign press" for instigating violence, Dictator Franco postponed his dearly loved annual deer and boar hunt...

Chief architect of the confidence has been hardheaded Treasury Secretary Antonio Carrillo Flores, whose policy of reduced government intervention in business slowed down and then reversed the flight of capital that resulted from post-devaluation jitters in 1954. Nobody knows better than Economist Carrillo Flores that there are still bad spots in the Mexican economy. Antiquated labor laws hamper development of the textile industry, for example, and Mexican agriculture is still...
Three weeks ago, beset by the threats of strikes among Italy's teachers and civil servants, Premier Antonio Segni passed out an average raise of 12% to every civil servant-an annual total of $425 million. Compared to Italy's gross national product, this generous gesture was equivalent to raising the cost of government in the U.S. by $7 billion at one stroke. Everybody agrees that 1) Italian civil servants are underpaid, 2) Italy's 1,000,000-man bureaucracy is inefficient, cumbersome. Segni, before raising the pay, had had parliamentary permission to change the system...
