...told it, her life read like the scenario for a Broadway musical: the rebellious daughter of a rich Madrid family flees her unloving husband and arrives in Manhattan, pregnant, frightened and perilously low on funds. She endures trials that would break a lesser spirit. Finally, thanks to her beguiling charm, brains ("The bankers could not keep up with me ") and beauty, she achieves a success no other woman has ever attained-she becomes Broadway's boldest angel (a $57,000 investment in Hair brings a $2 million gain) and its hottest producer.

With profound pride Spanish newspapers hailed the election as a "triumph of moderation" and praised the orderly way in which it was conducted. At week's end, after most of the votes were finally tallied, a Madrid intellectual expressed the emotions of his countrymen. "There is," he said, "deep down, a happiness about this transition, about the possibility of taking political consensus in hand.
