The minister was the Archbishop of Madrid, and the guests included members of three royal families (Greece, Bulgaria and Spain), two Spanish Cabinet ministers and Generalissimo Francisco Franco. Thus last week, in the 20-room Zarzuela Palace on the outskirts of Madrid, Felipe Juan Pablo Alfonso y Todos los Santos de Borbón, who might by the 21st century sit on the Spanish throne, was freed from the bonds of original...

He struck a theme from Don Juan: an image for the dark, liquid eyes, flaring nostrils and smoldering visage that prompted one of his many female admirers to compare him to "an untamed animal-sensual and earthy." Then Don Quixote: a reflection of his penchant for tilting in public at sacred cultural institutions.
