...history. It was fought between the socialist P.N.P. and the free-enterprise opposition Jamaica Labor Party (J.L.P.), led by Onetime Finance Minister Edward Seaga, 46. The J.L.P. attacked Manley for financial mismanagement and more or less accused the Prime Minister of trying to turn Jamaica into a satellite of Fidel Castro's Cuba. For their part, Manley's followers talked of "J.L.P. policy and the fascist threat," while Manley himself declared that "the capitalist system has failed...

Saraiva de Carvalho, who will soon face trial for his alleged part in the leftist uprising that Eanes put down last fall, preached "people's power" during the campaign and called for the creation of workers' assemblies that would eventually do away with parliamentary democracy. In the Lisbon industrial belt, particularly in big factory towns like Setubal, Saraiva...
