...forces that might confront each other in the Spanish Sahara. At one point the Archbishop of Zaragoza, Pedro Cantero Cuadrado, spread across Franco's bed the gold-embroidered cloak that usually adorns the wooden statue of the Virgin Mary in Zaragoza's Basilica of Our Lady of Pilar. As the archbishop described it, the dictator opened his eyes, wept and kissed the cape-which is reputed to have healing powers...
...military revolution are beginning to look more and more like opposing forces. Last week all military units in northern Portugal were placed on strict alert and confined to barracks following the mutiny of an artillery regiment near the city of Oporto. The 650 mutineers at the Serra do Pilar Regiment ran a red banner up the flagpole and demanded the dismissal of the region's new anti-Communist military commander, General António Pires Veloso.

...lists are not the only sign of collusion between DINA and sympathizers outside the country.

They also claim that the bodies they were shown in the Pilar morgue could not possibly be those of the two students. The corpse identified as Robotham was that of a man nearly three inches shorter, and the alleged remains of Guendelman included part of a hip bone that his mother says had been removed in surgery several years ago. Both students were last seen in Chilean detention centers, and their families fear they died in Chile at the hands of DINA...
...friend and fellow Catalan, the architect José Luis Sert, built for him on the island of Mallorca in 1956. Mird lives near by, among his peas, vines and carobs, in a house cluttered by found objects and rustic earthenware. He has been married to the same wife, Pilar Juncosa, since 1929; and in his manner of life and patterns of work (up at 6:30 a.m. to paint, never a day without a line) he is the epitome of industrious respectability...
