...call me "Archie Bunker" and cram the Bill of Rights down my throat, and in theory, at least, I'd probably agree with you. But I'm one American who was glad to have had Hoover-instigated FBI surveillance and harassment of such groups as the Black Panthers and the S.D.S...
...cronies from Civil War days. One of them was former Labor Minister José Antonio GirÓn de Velasco, 64, defiantly dressed not in mourning clothes but in the uniform of Franco's Falange movement: blue shirt and black tie. A leading spokesman for the "bunker" of hard-liners who oppose political liberalization, Giron a few days earlier had warned: "We say no, a rigorous and sharp no, to any change in the system."

Until recently Franco could count on the army to support his most repressive policies. But since Franco's first illness, a reform movement has developed among middle level officers. The generals remain old-style fascists--Franco's companions in arms during the civil war--but these officers, most of them drawn from the middle class, have professional grievances about political favoritism and demand radical democratic measures...
