Juan Carlos's government, to stem the effect that inflation is having on the nation's balance of payments, must soon impose economic austerity measures, and this means holding down wages or increasing taxes. Such a policy would probably lead to working class rebellion, especially if Juan Carlos is serious about not legalizing the Communist Party.

Despite such desert-prophet eruptions, Legman's scholarship continued. The Limerick is a massive accumulation of the world's most suggestive examples. The Horn Book contains studies in erotic folklore. The Guilt of the Templars is about heresy and sexual perversion in the medieval order of the Knights Templar. Ora genitalism is an elegantly written and anything but smutty study subtitled "Oral Techniques in Genital Excitation." Legman is also an authority on origami...
