...served as Planning Minister from 1962 to this year, and is one of the men directly responsible for Spain's current economic boom. He is regarded as anti-British but pro-American, and may be considerably tougher than his predecessor on the Gibraltar issue. Portending a resurgence of Falangist political activity is the appointment of Vice President Fernandez-Miranda, who retains his portfolio as minister secretary of the National Movement...
...ordinary men and women. By high noon, an estimated 500,000 Madrileños had crowded into the broad Plaza de Oriente, which faces the imposing 18th century royal palace.

The Madrid daily El Alcazar, for example, was fined $375 for erroneously reporting that a Falangist leader had paid a call on Franco. A Barcelona editor was given an eight-month prison term for publishing a letter that denounced Catalan nationalism-a letter that echoed the government's own views. Why, then, was he punished? In a nation where veiled irony and subtle ridicule have been wielded so often in place of open criticism, nervous officials may detect calculated mischief-making even...
