...troika of generals that has just assumed unlimited power in Lisbon could well transform Portugal into Western Europe's first Communist nation. It might be an orthodox Marxist state, as envisaged by one of the Continent's few remaining Stalinist Communist Party bosses, Alvaro Cunhal. It might also evolve into a different kind of radically leftist society, borrowing inspiration from Fidel Castro's Cuba, Houari Boumedienne's Algeria and Mao's China. Either way, the Red threat in Portugal vitally affects the political stability of the western Mediterranean and the future of the North Atlantic...
...happier with the troika than Soares is. Creation of the Directory might even be a curb on Gonçalves, since he must share his power with President Costa Gomes, a conciliatory moderate, and with the ambitious Saraiva de Carvalho, a radical leftist who has no use for orthodox Communists. Even the six moderate officers who had boycotted the preliminary meeting, at which the proposal for creating the triumvirate was sketched out, seem to have kept their seats on the Revolutionary Council.

Last week, however, Pope Paul rejected the idea and named another bishop to the office. The furious Seraphim declared this to be an "ecclesiastical scandal...
...Greek seaside town of Glyphada. While a score of family members -including Stepmother Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and her son John -crowded together in the tiny chapel of Aiksonis, an exquisite recreation of a Byzantine monastery, Christina and Alexander repeated the vows of the Greek Orthodox Church, made the traditional three trips around the altar, and were pronounced man and wife. Said John afterward: "Gosh, it was hot in there...
