...Spain's King Juan Carlos I, 38, and Queen Sofia, 37, it was an extraordinary week of firsts. Not since they ascended the throne last November had the royal couple traveled outside Spain.

At Chrysler, which has rebounded smartly into the black this year after losing $260 million in 1975, the sales stars are the mid-sized Cordoba and the popular new Aspen and Volare compacts.

...country was created by those people from a decaying Europe who sustained what he calls "vivid pockets of conscience." They established an ethical and moral government, he says, but not a government to be run by a monarch or a church. "Every aspect of our democracy comes from these vestigial remnants of that faith," the dean insists.
