...fact that there was any crisis at all was partly Gronchi's doing. Premier Antonio Segni's government fell because of a split in the four-party coalition that has helped keep Christian Democratic Prime Ministers in office for the past four years. But Segni's position had been gravely weakened before he fell by Gronchi's rage when Segni's Foreign Minister refused to forward to President Eisenhower a private letter in which President Gronchi criticized U.S. policy in the Middle East.

The rare eccentric who dares to raise his voice against the regime gets so little popular support that Salazar can afford...
Pleading ill-health as an excuse, Playwright Galvão himself refused to come out of jail to face trial on the new charges, and the polite dictatorship of Antonio Salazar seemed more than willing to gratify his whims. Last week, apparently preferring martyrdom to a third act which might not turn out the way he wanted, Scripter Galvão dismissed his defense counsel on the grounds that it was impossible to get a fair trial and so he needed no lawyers: he would stay where...
