...before the end of the year. Vice President Luis Carrero Blanco, 68, will inherit political power for a transitional period. But the man who will likely shape post-Franco Spain will be either Planning Minister Laureano LÓpez RodÓ, 50, or Foreign Minister Gregorio LÓpez Bravo...
...Politically Flexible. LÓpez Bravo's personality contrasts sharply with LÓpez RÓdo's. The Foreign Minister is outgoing, articulate, and a family man with nine children. He is also widely regarded as the best-looking Foreign Minister in Europe, as well as the best traveled, having visited 60 countries in the past three years. Tough and openly ambitious, he is more politically flexible than LÓpez RÓdo: he has been associated with both the half-moribund Falange party and the pragmatic, outward-looking Opus Dei, whose members (including...
Rumors began circulating several weeks ago, when Foreign Minister Gregorio Lopez Bravo arrived in San Sebastian, Spain's summer capital.

Howard Hawks' 43 previous films include His Girl Friday, Scarface, Only Angels Have Wings, Red River, Rio Bravo and half a dozen other examples of American film making at its best and most energetic. Hawks' 44th film, Rio Lobo, does not belong on that list. There are a few good scenes-an intricately executed train wreck, for example-but the movie is notably slack where it should be zestful. It is mostly a replay of familiar fare: John Wayne flirts with the girls, keeps the hot-blooded younger fellers in their place, and finally goes up against...
