...results seemed to confirm that harsh view. The roster of new Procuradores (Deputies) reads like Who's Who in the Falangist Establishment: mayors, provincial deputies, civil service employees, labor bigwigs, army officers and a sprinkling of businessmen. But in the twelve months since it took office, Spain's most representative group of public officials has taken to the business of government with precisely the kind of independent spirit that Strongman Franco tried to weed out in advance. The new Cortes members (called family Deputies because they were elected by male and female heads of families) have repeatedly raised...

About the only time such offenders are punished is when they are tried in federal courts under statutes enacted during Reconstruction times. Among those antique laws, several prohibit conspiracy to deprive any citizen of his civil rights, and last week a federal judge in Vicksburg concluded that one of man's most basic civil rights is his right to live. U.S. District Court Judge William Harold Cox, a stubborn segregationist, decided that...
