...Azevedo, president of SUCESU, a nationwide society of computer users. "The problem," he adds, "is that the prices are too high." For example, the latest Scopus machine sells for $6,000, while a comparably equipped IBM Personal Computer costs...
...victory for law-and-order and a stunning defeat for the Communists. Eanes, the tough, austere army chief of staff who put down a leftist military uprising last November, won 61.5% of the vote, trouncing far-left candidate Otelo Saraiva de Carvalho (16.5%), seriously ailing Premier Jose Pinheiro de Azevedo (14.4%) and the Communist standard-bearer Octavio Pato (7.6%). Although Eanes' victory was less a personal triumph than a vote of confidence in the three non-Communist parties that backed him-the Socialists, Popular Democrats and conservative Center Social Democrats-the general is expected to wield his new authority...
Absolute Majority. Eanes, according to one recent poll, may receive at least 33% of the vote in the election. Although about 38% of the electorate is still undecided, the current Premier, Admiral Jose Pinheiro de Azevedo-who is not backed by any political party but is counting on his personality to put him across-is favored by 14% of the voters; ultra-leftist Army Major Otelo Saraiva de Carvalho should get 11 % of the vote.

Even some 200 former agents of Caetano's hated secret police, PIDE, have been released, as has former Interior Minister César Moreira Baptista, under whom they...
Through transfers and discharges of known leftists, Portugal's army, which last summer was an almost unmanageable stronghold of revolutionary ardor, has been transformed into a relatively disciplined force loyal to Pinheiro de Azevedo's government. Efforts to nationalize many of Portugal's industries and to carry out a sweeping land-reform program have virtually stopped. There have been almost nightly bombings of local Communist and leftist headquarters in northern Portugal. Conservative farmers in the north who have joined in the new Confederation of Farmers plan to make their angry voices heard in elections for the legislature...
