Trujillo's government announced that Trujillo himself went to the Constanza area to oversee the counterattack, that Rebel Commander (and onetime Castro Captain) Enrique Jiménes Moya was killed. The rebels fought back with reports that Trujillo was nervously hiding out at San Isidro Air Base, that Jiménes Moya was still alive and fighting, that Pilot Ventura Simó had been executed by a San Isidro firing squad when his propaganda value had been used...
...come on huge fields with possibly 2,000 to 3,000 men drilling in squad-sized groups. These are the draftees, and their D.I.s strut and chant like U.S. marines, all very sharp.

Since then, presumably under Franco's soldierly guidance, Juan Carlos has become a one-man unified armed force. He graduated as a second lieutenant from Spain's West Point...
...attacked Mayor Rogers' record with Page One "photographic editorials" showing potholed pavements and exposed water lines. In their eagerness to clear or smear the city administration, the papers even scrapped over details of a drunk-driving arrest; the Herald-Post declared that police had beaten the driver, one Isidro Fernandez, and used a chain hoist to haul him out of a ditch. Sneered Pooley, whose cop-baiting helped drive one El Paso police chief to a nervous breakdown: "Ah, such big, bold, efficient lawmen...
