Nominally Spain is a kingdom with Franco serving as regent. The pretender, Don Juan de Bourbon, lives in quiet exile in Portugal. His son, Juan Carlos de Bourbon, has been educated in Spain. The twenty-five year old prince, now an officer in the Spanish Army, Navy, and Air Force, lives with his wife, Greece's Princess Sophia, in a villa outside Madrid. But, while Franco seems fond of the young prince, he has made no official moves in his direction...

The lyrics, intricately rhymed manifestos, present philosophies of life; Aznavour delivers...
...asset unique in the world: it sustains five symphony orchestras, and the least of them is jolly good. Nonetheless, the Royal Philharmonic has been sounding its death rattle for nearly a year. And now the Philharmonia, regarded by many as Britain's finest, has announced plans for a quiet suicide in September. The casualties, which were variously blamed on Beatlemania and the muddy sidewalks around Royal Festival Hall, at least produced one healthy change. For the first time ever, in somber conference with officials of Britain's Arts Council last week, each of the orchestras acknowledged the others...
