...ruling coalitions in the Western world. The 14-man interim Cabinet consists of three Socialists, two Communists, three left-centrists, five independents and one military officer. The Cabinet does not include members of the junior officer corps that initiated the April 25 "captains' coup" and deposed Premier Marcello Caetano...
...Portugal, the public euphoria that followed the overthrow of the Caetano dictatorship is gradually giving way to an atmosphere of uncertainty and some political tension. Denmark's minority government could fall this week when the legislature votes on a controversial proposal to slash welfare benefits. Even tiny Iceland, once an island of stability 500 miles from Britain out in the North Atlantic, has caught the spreading governmental malaise.

The military junta will no doubt try, as Caetano also tried, to speed economic development. It will immediately be confronted, however, with the obstacle of one of Europe's most virulent cases of inflation-a staggering 30% increase last year-and with possible opposition from the famous "100 families" that have long controlled the country's economy...
