Comely Agent. A military junta took over, much to Agee's satisfaction. Still he kept close tabs on the generals. The mistress of one of his agents was the official stenographer for Cabinet meetings; Agee was privy to transcripts before the new governors. The CIA concentrated heavily on discovering the secrets of Cubans, Soviets and satellites. Agents installed eavesdropping bugs in apartments. Lip readers studied films taken of Soviet officials strolling in their embassy gardens. If the subtle approach failed, the Company happily played the role of pimp for overamorous Soviet officials. One was lured into...
...cannot end fascism with a center-left policy that excludes the Communists. The junta democratica is the best solution. If the democratic forces do not come to power in Spain, the country could go the way of Portugal. By that I mean there could be a serious radicalization of the political situation, a radicalization that could include the young officers of the Spanish army.

Juan Carlos is in effect the son of Franco. All Franco's structures will have to disappear, including Juan Carlos. The junta democratica believes in free elections.

They were not disappointed. "This is an ill-omened day and a mournful anniversary," said Makarios in his nasal twang. "When on the morning of that day the putschists struck...
Makarios' fiery denunciation of the junta and the EOKA-B may have provided emotional satisfaction for the Greek Cypriots. But he disappointed some of his audience by referring only obliquely to the sad facts of Cyprus' current condition, over which he has little control. One year after the coup attempt, there is virtually no prospect for a quick settlement of the Cyprus question-certainly none that would enable the 200,000 Greek-Cypriot refugees to return to their homes in the Turkish-held sector, which they fled during last year's war. Addressing a special session...
