The inside job is the work of Jeremy Main and Godfrey Blunden. Main, who was born in Argentina of British parents and speaks fluent Spanish, was once Madrid bureau chief for International News Service. Returning to Madrid, he interviewed Cabinet ministers, economists. Roman Catholic lay leaders and politicians from left to right, and reports.

Without the right to meet, the Deputies are powerless, and the nation's political parties are equally impotent without the right to assemble. But labor still has the right to strike, and is wielding the weapon. Last week, demanding two months' back pay owed them by the nearly broke government, railroad workers staged a 24-hour walkout.
