...provisional President and has allowed an unprecedented measure of political freedom. Spinola's choice for Prime Minister after Palma Carlos' ouster had been conservative Defense Minister Lieut. Colonel Mario Firmino Miguel. Instead, the A.F.M. chose one of its own: an obscure army colonel, Vasco dos Santos Gonçalves, 53, a left-leaning officer-engineer and chief ideologist for the A.F.M. Later in the week, Spinola announced the new 16-member Cabinet. Though Spinola had never been an active member of the A.F.M., he was pushed into power by the group because of his great prestige, and obviously...
Heavily Weighted. For the moment at least, Spínola remains in power, but the civilian phase of the Portuguese revolution seemed to be nearing an end. At week's end, Spínola named as Portugal's Premier Colonel Vasco Gonçalves, who will preside over a new military-civilian coalition government.

There are still Americans starving, as well as Asians, and still many citizens in need of homes and education and the prospects of hope. These unsatisfied needs cannot be blamed on Viet Nam. If the cries...
Vanity surgery is now as acceptable in Rio as bleach-blonde hair. One local television personality, Dercy Gonçalves, who has been thoroughly reshaped, is not in the least reluctant to discuss it. She has been known to close her TV program by cheerily confiding, "Well, next week I'm going to have a complete retread." Once, when she appeared on camera looking younger and trimmer than usual, she announced that casual sit-down chats with guest stars would be out of the question for the next few days. "I've had three operations on my face...
