A rash of campus protests in Madrid and Barcelona nearly two years ago was all the excuse the generals needed to demand that Franco scuttle his five-year experiment in "liberalization" of state controls on the press, the labor unions and the universities-or face a military coup. There were signs last week that the hard-liners had summoned up the fading Falange...
