...course such a provisional government, presumably including Communists, would be unacceptable to the powerful Spanish right, especially the so-called "bunker"-the hard-line core of Franco's backers. Even if Juan Carlos favored a broad-based provisional government-and there is no hint that he (joes-it is extremely unlikely that he will want or dare to break with the right so soon. Since Communist demands for a provisional government are almost certain to go unfulfilled, the P.C.E. will probably launch a series of "democratic activities": strikes, walkouts, demonstrations. In fact, the Junta Democrática-a leftist...
...suppress all pornography--"the undiluted essence of anti-female propaganda." Brownmiller points out that pornography is a key factor in the development of many men. It is "like rape...a male invention, designed to dehumanize women, to reduce the female to an object of sexual access..."

...Most of the task force chairmen said last week that the majority of their recommendations will fall in the nut-and-bolts category - small, mostly administrative recommendations - that may not have to come before the Faculty. But James Q. Wilson, Shattuck Professor of Government and the chairman of the core curriculum task force, possibly the key group, said he expects his committee's work to have a broader, more philosophical mandate than the other task forces. "We won't have any necessarily more cosmic recommendations than others," Wilson insists. "But there is hardly a major proposal that would not have...
