Juan Carlos has insisted all along that he would prefer to see his father Don Juan crowned. Franco, however, would not accept Don Juan because of his liberal political and social views and his public attacks on the Franco regime. So Juan Carlos accepted the throne. "It is not a question of Don Juan or Juan Carlos," he told his father, "but whether the monarchy would ever be restored...
...made in the Republican National Committee's peppery publication Monday, has surface validity. The presidential candidacy of South Dakota Senator George McGovern seems to have little steam of its own.

The hard-line conservatives want to keep the L.C.M.S. theo logically exclusive and pure. But, as with earlier Christians, seemingly...
Company spokesmen are eager to note that G.E. is not "fleeing the city." They prefer to see the move as part of a "longterm evolving plan" for realigning company facilities. As part of the plan, G.E. will continue to occupy its 50-story office building in midtown Manhattan, turning it into the headquarters for international operations...
