Souvanna may well suffer the fate of other non-Communist leaders who have tried to govern in conjunction with the Reds and have lost their countries to Communist subversion...
...Count of Barcelona and Pretender to the Spanish throne, which he and his monarchist supporters are certain will be restored when Franco goes. Until that happens, he can only wait restlessly in self-imposed exile at Estoril, Portugal's glittering resort, or take the handsome yacht Saltillo for endless cruises in the Mediterranean-an embodiment of his country's impatience, and a symbol of the Spanish past that is desperately trying to move into modern Europe...
