Besides trying to solve the war in Viet Nam, break up NATO and remold the Common Market nearer to his nationalist desires, Charles de Gaulle also has to protect his rear, which was badly mauled in his humiliating encounter with the French electorate in December.

The plan promised a 10% tax credit on capital spending for business, an easing of credit and price controls, a $20-per-year hike in old-age pensions...

...effacing, López Rodó is known as Franco's eminence grise - partly because everything about him, including his hair, suit, socks, tie and personality, seems grey. The appearance is deceiving. Son of a Catalan industrialist, he spent much of the civil war as an under ground Nationalist agent (code number: 711) in Republican Barcelona, went on to become Spain's youngest law professor, at 25, and an international authority on public administration. He is an avid tennis player, is up at 6:45 each morning and in his office at 8. Brilliant and tireless...
