Rosalynn also showed her concern for Jamaica's problems by making an emotional visit to two social service centers in a Kingston slum. Crowds lined the narrow streets as she walked three blocks from one center to the other, and an eleven-year-old girl broke through the guards, hugged her and traipsed along with the President's wife beneath the tropical...
...Democratic Center Union (U.C.D.), a center-right coalition of 15 groups, including Social Democrats, Christian Democrats and independents, is headed by Premier Adolfo Suárez, 44, who took over the faltering alliance last month and installed a number of his own loyalists as candidates.

Paunchy and jowly at 42, the King scarcely bumped or gyrated. But just like old times, he crooned hoary favorites such as Hound Dog and Teddy Bear, and when he periodically tossed a sweat-stained scarf to the peons below, he set off a clawing clamor.
