Actually, only eight people were killed and damage was limited to a few narrow streets in the working class district. El Caudillo Franco's headquarters, the artillery general staff, the press and propaganda departments and the general staff headquarters are all within 100 yards of Salamanca's great ornate cathedral, one of the finest in Spain. Proof that the Leftist raid on Salamanca was not an isolated incident but represented a complete change in policy came quickly.

...chaos (TIME, Jan. 24). Last week after everyone available had tried in vain to form a new Cabinet, France emerged from chaos with M. Chautemps once more Premier. His new Cabinet, as finally set up, excluded the Communists, dropped the Socialists, was comprised exclusively of his own moderate, middle-class party, the Radical Socialists who are a minority in the Chamber.

...generous, humane, intelligent, helpless, is a symbol of sightless aristocracy that cannot provide social leadership. John Hargedon, the hard-pressed, woman-chasing policeman, is a symbol of leaderless strength and courage that wastes itself. Ben Coventry lives in seclusion in his Beacon Street house, breaks with his class when the amorous wife of an old friend guides him to her house at night, slowly recovers his balance only to die in the riots when mobs rule the city and thugs assault his sweetheart. John Hargedon, after a long career trapping and abandoning girls, is himself trapped into marriage...
