...party of the aperture, monarchists who want Juan Carlos to enact democratic reforms, minimize the influence of the bunker despite its demonstrated ability to accelerate repression in recent months. These "moderates" are members of the Cortes and the National Movement, Spain's only legal political party, as well as high bureaucrats, corporate executives, and former ministers and ambassadors. They have organized political groups like the FEDISA (Federation of Independent Study Groups) and Tacito, which publish manifestos in the Catholic press and hope to direct post-Franco Spain...

"This has become a Government by veto," lamented Rhode Island Democrat John O. Pastore after the Senate's oil vote. "We've got the minority dragging the majority around by the nose...
...organization called CAUSE (for Campaign Against Utility Service Exploitation). CAUSE is backing a bill in the California legislature that would set special low rates for both individual and industrial customers who use minimal amounts of gas. An effort is also under way in the legislature to enact an involved scheme under which taxes would be eliminated on the surcharge levied by SoCal Gas on consumers, so that SoCal Gas would not have to collect almost $2 for every $1 to be advanced to Arco. Nonetheless, the SoCal Gas-Arco deal reflects some hard realities: 1) the nation currently faces...
