If she could get her voice around a song the way she moves her shape for the camera, she would be pure nitro...
...hinted that without E.C. membership he may not get the popular support he needs for NATO. Says a senior Spanish diplomat: "You cannot ask us to participate in the defense of the values of the West and not grant us the benefits." In private, West German Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher has put it more bluntly: "Why should the Spanish send their soldiers to help defend us when we won't even buy their tomatoes...
