Last week, as the zero hour for the student demonstration approached, all Spain was alert, eyes expectantly concentrated on the big cities of Madrid and Barcelona. But it was in the Navarre mountain-encircled city of Pamplona (pop. 73,000), famed for its bullfight fiesta, that the trouble started...
Spain's steel-nerved Bullfighter Luis Miguel Dominguin, in Panama to subdue some bulls, underwent a more unnerving ordeal-becoming a father for the first time. From the time that his wife, Italian Cinemactress Lucia Bose, felt her first labor pains until his son Luis Miguel Jr. was born 29 hours later, Matador Dominguin kept a weary vigil in the hospital. For 13 hours in the delivery room, he stood by in a pale green surgical gown, at last saw son Luis delivered by Caesarean section. Said big Luis: "If I were ever in a bullfight as frightening...
...immediate predecessor in the corner was Leslie Stevens, who spent much of his two years there writing plays. Stevens left TIME just before his Bullfight scored an off-Broadway hit that paved the way for a Broadway production of his Champagne Complex. Now Stevens has another play, The Lovers, in rehearsal.

Besides this retailing of tauromachian local-color, Fisher afflicts his readers with a stiff, unrealistic dialogue (including some...

A week before, at the season's gay opening bullfight, the crowd had cheered for ten minutes when former President Alberto Lleras Camargo, who symbolizes opposition to Strongman Rojas Pinilla, arrived and took a seat. No sooner had the cheering died down than the President's 22-year-old daughter Maria Eugenia and her husband, pro-government Publisher Samuel Moreno, stepped into the presidential box. In the Colombian equivalent for booing, the throng angrily whistled them out of the stadium-an insult that doubtless threw hot-tempered General Rojas...
