Oilmen, who estimate that there may be 180 million to 650 million bbl. of oil and from 1.2 trillion to 4.2 trillion cu. ft. of natural gas in the region, sought to calm the fishermen's fears by promising to take proper precautions against leaks and spills. The Interior Department tried to counter objections by reducing the size of the proposed sale from 155 tracts to 128 covering 700,000 acres...

In Madrid's daily newspaper El Pais he regularly lampoons the pillars of the once untouchable Establishment-from King Carlos to Pope Paul. Some of Peridis' subjects-including both Premier Adolfo Suarez and Communist Party Chief Santiago Carillo-have even written prefaces to the cartoonist...
...Coup. Several members of parliament came to me and said I must warn my husband of a plot against him. I told him, but he left me infuriated by his calm. I asked him 'Who is with you? Not the Minister of Defense, not the Minister of the Interior, not the Minister of Information. None is with you.' He only said 'Don't worry. God is with us.' He is so calm, he makes me furious.
