...complete three-year residencies. Now available at more than 300 hospitals, these residencies expose the fledgling F.P.s to a wide range of training-from basics of surgery and cardiology to obstetrics. Every six years they will be re-examined to make sure they have kept up with medical progress. In the first such recertification test last fall, TIME has learned, 4% of the doctors flunked and will have to be tested again before they can be recertified. Finally, in the six-year intervals between boards, they must clock at least 300 hours of medical education...
...Franco Spain is eager for closer relations with Western Europe, joining NATO is not an immediate prospect. Membership, in any case, will not affect a Washington-Madrid defense cooperation pact, which runs until 1981. Washington already has a warm relationship with Suarez. There was also admiration for Spain's progress in Britain last week. "The secret of Juan Carlos' success," reflected one Spain watcher, "was his rejection of the old men of the civil war and the middle-aged leaders of the Opus Dei [the secretive Catholic lay organization] in favor of his own generation of Spaniards...
Most Americans would call South Africa's treatment of blacks immoral, but we are in a poor position to preach on this: our own progress in race relations has been too slow and too uncertain.

Amid the evasions, rationalizations and semantic games, some very real change is occurring, even though many white Africans still oppose even the small concessions the government has made. "Change" itself, like "progress," is a dirty word, regarded as a code term for subversion. The euphemism to be used is "movement." Two years ago, a leading Afrikaans writer, Leon Rousseau, was savaged by fellow Afrikaners when he called for "penance" and a "national admission of guilt." Yet this spring the Afrikaner Writers Guild adopted a resolution declaring itself against "a dispensation in which the majority of our population is denied humanitarian...
...Civil Aeronautics Board has approved Laker's Skytrain for a one-year experimental period only and can cancel the flights on 15-days' notice should the British government prevent U.S. carriers from starting competing bargain services. Whether that happens probably depends on what progress U.S. and British negotiators make in concluding a new agreement to regulate the number of flights and seats offered on the North Atlantic route. The Bermuda Agreement between the two countries expires midnight Tuesday. The British demand that in a new pact their lines receive half the revenues produced by flights between...
