...rock bands do you know? We know this because the title track International Velvet is a noisy thanksgiving that proclaims "Everyday I wake up, I thank the Lord I'm Welsh." The other verses go, "Deffrwch Cymry cysglyd gwlad y g,n" --which could be an elaboration on said religio-nationalistic gratitude, or, you know, something else altogether.

Bill Bradley knew where he was, and his stature was reaffirmed by approving nods from righteous heads across the country...
...party is called -would rise in influence. Carrero Blanco is believed to maintain an affection for veteran Falangists who fought long ago for Franco; he may well decide that it is time for them to be allowed to reassert themselves. Correspondingly, the power of technocrats affiliated with the modernist, religio-political movement known as Opus Dei might decline...
