...while, she would trade places with TIME's men on the bus: veteran Correspondents Erik Amfitheatrof, Frank Melville and Arthur White. Amfitheatrof, who covered the 1976 Italian general election as a TIME correspondent in Rome and has reported on the sometimes unruly politics of Africa and the Mediterranean, was delighted to find this campaign unmistakably British. He recalls watching Callaghan at a whistlestop, a cup of tea in his hand, plunging into the crowd and politely imploring them: "Forgive me for having my lunch as I go along...
SPAIN. Though once-cheap Spain gets more expensive each year, enjoyable vacations are still to be had at reasonable prices. Away from overpopulated, overpriced resorts like Torremolinos and Benidorm, the Mediterranean coast is full of inexpensive surprises. One unspoiled Almerian village is Mojácar, a dazzling white nest perched on a hill some two miles from the coast, commanding panoramic views of the sea, valley and mountains, with excellent beaches near by. It has two three-star hotels, the Mojácar and the Moresco ($25 for a double with bath). Dinner for two at several good restaurants should cost...

The work responds to an edgy sensibility: Europe of the '20s and '30s, and Northern Europe at that, the dictators' playground. When the Mediterranean world appears, it is not the, sumptuous place imagined by Matisse or Picasso, but either Catalonia or the seedier Levantine environment of Cavafy's Alexandria. Its heroes, whose ghostly presences are often quoted in Kitaj's paintings, are the shipless helmsmen of modernism, the rootless cosmopolitans like...
British and U.S. officials professed to see no danger that Malta would fall under the influence of a competing foreign power like the U.S.S.R. Some Italian strategic experts, however, feared that the island might be a tempting refueling base for Soviet submarines or even a handy Mediterranean flattop for Soviet planes...
