Avocado Politics. Apra was not part of the government it fought so ferociously to uphold. With more seats in Congress than any other party, it was content to hold power without office.

Sent down in flames by a Leftist machine gunner, General Franco's officers admitted, was the Rightists' ace flyer, Carlos de Haya. While Rightists claimed the capture or destruction of thousands of Leftist soldiers and began to hail the battle as the turning point of the war, a series of explosions suddenly shook the city's outskirts.
