So cautious was the government in dealing with rebellious elements that, only days after the 18-hour, Feb. 23 takeover of the Spanish parliament by gun-toting soldiers, one neo-fascist agitator was bold enough to declare at a rally that the plotters' jails should be regarded as "temples of honor...
