...after breakfast, the Prince spends two hours in briefing sessions with ranking government experts. Economics is the subject on Monday, church matters and foreign policy on Tuesday, labor and industry on Wednesday, cultural affairs on Thursday, and military and scientific topics on Friday. In the afternoon, he drives his black Mercedes 220 sedan into Madrid for working visits to various ministries. In addition, Juan Carlos spends four or five days a month on trips to factories and construction sites throughout Spain...

He has strengthened the teaching of sciences and created the rank of "distinguished professor," a device that allows the university to exceed authorized salaries to attract better teachers.

From now on, this ad agency is gonna be called the Truth and Soul Agency. That's right...
...bills himself in the credits as "a prince"-has got it into his royal head that what America really needs at this point in its history is another put-down of the advertising business. Accordingly, he has come up with the not totally unpromising notion of a group of black militants taking over an ad agency and bombarding the country with race propaganda concealed inside TV commercials. That seems to have been the idea, anyway, but only traces of it have survived Downey's scattershot direction. He spends most of his time on puerile parodies of TV commercials, like...
