The agreement will allow the U.S. to continue to use three airbases in Spain (at Saragossa, Moron and Torrejón) and a Polaris submarine and Mediterranean fleet-support base at Rota. The bases are manned by 10,000 U.S. servicemen. In return, the U.S. will provide Franco with at least $300 million worth of military aid, including 36 phased-out F-4C Phantom jet fighter-bombers...
Donoratico is a village on the Mediterranean about 140 miles north of Rome. Inland lies the delectable countryside of Tuscany, with its crumbling towers and its long avenues of shady cypresses leading to sienna-brown farmhouses. Near Donoratico is a vacation village run by the Club Mediterranee, the social and commercial phenomenon that has established 47 such villages in Europe and elsewhere.

If present trends to use the Mediterranean as the ultimate receptacle of noxious waste continue, Arvid Pardo said, its fishing industry will disappear in a few years. Swedish Ecologist Bengt Lundholm reported that only 14% of Italy's seacoast is now free of pollution. Dr. Jerold M. Lowenstein, a physician specializing in nuclear medicine, warned that radioactive wastes...
...Anne Uzielli and his 21-year-old son Edsel II, a student of business at Massachusetts' Babson Institute. He told his daughters about his impending marriage to his second wife Cristina only 24 hours before it occurred. He met Cristina, a blonde Italian divorcee who looks like a Mediterranean Ingrid Bergman, in 1960 at a party in Maxim's in Paris. In 1964, when he was divorced by his wife of 23 years, the former Anne McDonnell, Ford incurred heavy criticism, which he characteristically ignored. Ford seems delighted with Cristina but has disappointed...
