Kissinger was about to sit down with Spanish Foreign Minister Pedro Cortina Mauri in New York to continue negotiations for a new "friendship and cooperation" agreement between the two countries. At stake for the U.S. are its three Spanish airbases, which would be needed if the U.S. had to resupply Israel or counter Soviet intervention in the event of another Middle East war, and its nuclear submarine base at Rota. These installations, argue American officials, will also give Washington leverage in influencing Spain's transition to the post-Franco era. For Spain, the accord means about $750 million...
...meetings with European leaders (among them Giscard and British Prime Minister Harold Wilson) and a second day of NATO sessions, the President and Kissinger flew to Madrid. Ford and Franco rode through the streets of Madrid, then Ford lunched with Premier Carlos Arias Navarro and Foreign Minister Pedro Cortina Mauri.

...dealers' showrooms. Officials worked over time, tearing down winning cars in every time trial, probing and prying, measuring and checking to see that they had not been doctored in violation of the rules. In the "Flying Mile"* for passenger cars, for instance, officials had to disqualify four of Mauri Rose's fastest Chevvies because their fan belts just happened to break loose, a quadruple coincidence that allowed the cars to make their runs without wasting the fraction of power used to turn radiator fans and generators...
