Underground party members in Spain were bereft of central command during the long exile, necessitating local and regional decision-making. The growth of illegal workers' commissions, dominated by party members over the last fifteen years, confirms the trend. These factory-based councils have ties to the PCE but possess limitless autonomy. Laborers set up the commissions to defend their wage-and-hour interests in a way that the Francoist Sindicacio Nacional does not. The councils have no set programs, no dues and no distinctions are made between members and non-members. The activist membership which the commissions channel into...
Hence for Ford it is the banks--large, powerful, mechanical things--that are running the show, and the people are powerless. The banks want a limitless "blank check" from the government to help them "escape responsibility" and "be further excused from making the hard decisions." If the fiscal crisis has made New York disorderly, irresponsible, weak and dishonest, it is precisely because the city is no longer a community of people, but an agglomeration of institutions. New York bankers and officials are "desperate," but the people will not be "stampeded" by them. If Ford's attack on the banks...

...long step was taken last week toward the still-distant goal of providing the U.S. with a virtually limitless source of energy. In Washington, the new Energy Research and Development Administration issued a draft "environmental statement"* detailing the environmental impact of a large, advanced fusion test reactor. ERDA's action made it clear that the U.S. is determined to harness nuclear fusion, the process that feeds the fires of the sun and gives H-bombs their awesome power. If all goes well, the $215 million test reactor, to be built on the Forrestal campus of Princeton University, will...
