And in 1954, Madrid's Second Baptist Church was closed because a new Catholic charity foundation across the street complained that...

But the earlier cases were only the preliminaries to the real match, which is now opening. This is the fight to break down trade restraints in which underworld characters have muscled in on legitimate unions and business...
