...cheap, good wine, the artist flourishing among Spanish peasants-that a generation or more of wistful, frazzled American writers have dreamed of escaping to. Clifford Irving was an itinerant aspiring novelist when he first discovered the island of Ibiza (the setting for the movie More) off Spain's Mediterranean coast more than 15 years ago; he soon settled there. Now, with his fourth wife Edith and two sons, Ned, 3, and Barnaby, 2, he lives in a 300-year-old whitewashed stone farmhouse two miles from Ibiza's town square...
Late last week Irving left New York to fly to his home on Ibiza, one of the Balearic Islands off Spain's Mediterranean coast. LIFE immediately issued a statement: "We were opposed to his departure at this time . . . We thought it was a very bad time to go, while developments were still taking place in Switzerland and while we're hopefully awaiting more information from the Swiss police that might resolve if there is a fraud and who perpetrated it." But Irving was said to have left for only a brief visit with his family and promised that...

Since Malta is no longer strategically vital, London is willing to pay an additional $11.7 million and no more. To underscore British determination, Whitehall last week flew in a party of expert "dismantlers" to knock down its facilities. Evacuation began of 4,994 British dependents aboard R.A.F.

...attracted some $2.5 billion in private investment. Wendel-Si-delor, France's largest steel company, is building a $1.3 billion mill to turn out 7,000,000 tons a year, about one-third of the present national output. At six other points along the same stretch of Mediterranean coastline, government-built resort towns are partially complete. Over the past year they have attracted 600,000 visitors to accommodations ranging from trailer parks to deluxe hotels, and by 1980 the tourist load is expected to triple, equaling that of the "old" Riviera east of Marseille...
