Similarity to Soviets. The Communists and other extreme left-wing parties endorsed the program. Communist Party Boss Alvaro Cunhal has made similar proposals in his writings; moreover, the new councils bear a certain resemblance to the workers' Soviets that were established by the Bolsheviks during Russia's 1917 Revolution. Most other Portuguese politicians denounced the plan as a recipe for a new era of tyranny. "We are absolutely against it," said Dr. Freitas do Amaral, head of the Center Social Democrats.

...hold the price of "old" gas from wells already in production at roughly its present level to soften the economic impact of the higher new gas prices. The White House, however, has called for decontrol of all new gas, allowing the price to rise to whatever the market will bear.

His persona is still the kind of man whose profile should not be painted but wallpapered. His situations continue to bear traces of two Keatons. In this case, Buster is the right source; Diane is not. Allen's longtime companion is saddled with Lines that make her Groucho in bombazine ("Thank you, your grubbiness"). Because she cannot generate a style of her own, Keaton soon draws attention to the film...
