Ugliest Epithet. Outside the building, Socialist Leader Mario Scares and thousands of his supporters kept an all-night vigil in the rain. In the ugliest epithet imaginable, the angry crowd called Communist Leader Alvaro Cunhal "a new Salazar"-after the late dictator who ruled Portugal for more than 40 years. "Este jornal nāo ė de Cunhal! [This paper is not Cunhal's]" the Socialists shouted. Several times paratroopers sent to guard the building fired shots into the air; the crowd responded by shouting, "Assassins!" Finally Minister of Social Communications Jorge Correia Jesuino, representing the 30-man Revolutionary...
...skill in solving the country's economic problems. Unemployment has been aggravated by the return of thousands of troops from the former Portuguese colonies in Africa, and another dismal tourist season like last year's could prove disastrous.

Scares and other moderates seemed weary and depressed by the swift turn of events that in only three weeks...
...final analysis, the implications of Portugal's leftward turn may not be quite so bleak as they would at first appear, at least in the short run. No responsible Portuguese political leader, including Communist Party Leader Cunhal, has suggested that the U.S. give up its airbase in the Azores - yet. But many have hinted that the facility is a question for "later." As for NATO, even the Communists are notably reluctant to make any threats about pulling out of it, repeatedly declaring that "the question is one for five years from...
