Such words raised concern on the U.S. mainland and in the island commonwealth, where the independence movement has won few votes and terrorism none. Puerto Rican Governor Carlos Romero Barceloó an ardent proponent of statehood, had opposed the release of the prisoners and pointedly left San Juan for a visit to the mainland to avoid the whole fuss over their return. Their release coincides with the campaign that will culminate in Puerto Rico's first presidential primaries, to be held in February and March of 1980. With straight faces, White House aides deny any link between the release...
...essence, Kirchner has produced music for a pageant - the pageantry in this case being the external processions of Henderson's mind. Sensing this, Director Tom O'Horgan (Hair, Jesus Christ Superstar) has rolled out the ribbons and ordered up some eye-catching costumes from Designer Randy Barcelo. The first entrance of the natives has a typically splendiferous O'Horgan touch. The sun rises to reveal Princess Mtalba sitting high atop a pyramidlike structure.

In fact, despite the deep penetration of American styles and institutions and goods into Puerto Rico, there was a minority majority against statehood in the plebescite ten years ago, and there has always been a sizeable majority of intransigent opponents of any association with the United States...
...United States. In the gubernatorial elections this coming fall, Ruben Berrios of PIP and Juan Mari Bras of PSP will both run, but they will probably poll together less than 10 per cent of the vote. Governor Hernandez Colon of the Popular Democratic Party will run against Carlos Romero Barcelo, mayor of San Juan and head of the pro-statehood New Progressive Party (PNP). The PNP derives its support mainly from conservatives in the middle and upper classes, though it appeals to all those who want Puerto Rico to cultivate closer ties with the United States.
