Delgado may surprise observers by still being around on election day. and still a candidate, but no one expects him to win the presidency. Yet a few fissures are showing this spring in the glacial calm that has usually characterized Portugal in the past quarter-century. Said a middle-aged Lisbon businessman: "I've always supported Salazar because he brought us peace and quiet, and I like peace. But these elections are completely different.

In the past, whenever the U.A.W. won a raise, the companies also raised nonunion and salaried employees the same amount. This week the Big Three automakers gave 2½% wage boosts and cost-of-living hikes to their 173,000 nonunion and salaried employees. It was a strong hint that the U.A.W...
