...liberal, has abandoned fascism. Somewhere near this crowd are the moribund remnants of the Falange, the onetime fascist party that Franco used to gain power; Falangists today are opportunistic, scattered and weak. At the other extreme, on the far left, are outfits like the Popular Liberation Front, whose Marxist leader has been in jail since 1959. Roughly in the political center are: 1) the Christian Democrats, led by Jose Maria Gil Robles, 63, a prominent Madrid lawyer, and 2) the Liberals, whose spokesman has been Dionisio Ridruejo, a onetime Falangist who has been in the opposition for years...
...plazas. Peru's 2,222,926 registered voters submitted themselves to the most elaborate anti-fraud safeguards in the country's history and then cast their votes for a new President from among three leading candidates: Victor Raul Haya de la Torre, 67, founder of the longoutlawed, Marxist-turned-moderate APRA Party; Fernando Belaunde Terry, 49, a wellborn, highly nationalistic architect who narrowly lost the 1956 presidential elections; and Manuel Odria, 64, Dictator-President of Peru from 1950 to 1956, who is remembered for both his strong arm and liberal public works...

Outside in the convention hall's parking lot were the new caste marks of the delegates without dogma: Mercedeses, Opels and Volkswagens...

Each morning Radio Cairo broadcasts prayers for the quick demise of the "antisocial, reactionary, squandering, lecherous, oligarch Saud. his family and supporters." In retaliation, Saud, who once financed a $5,000,000 plot to kill Nasser, this year barred delivery of the kiswa, the canopy for the holy Black Stone in Mecca that Egyptian craftsmen had spent...
...Marxist concept of culture and fantasy-life with another concept of combat. Like the West, the United States opposes the Marxist concept with freedom of interpretation in regard to the past, with freedom of creation in regard to the present-and also with a singular discovery, which is art's power of metamorphosis. However terrible an age, its art transmits only its music. The humanity of dead artists, when it transmits a scourge like the Assyrian horror, for all the torturer-kings of its bas-reliefs, fills our memory with the majesty of the Wounded Lioness...
