...civil war has faded, the factions and their causes have changed, but the battles go on. There are now three political power spheres that are almost bound to collide in their rush to try to fill the post-Franco vacuum. Strangely enough, the Movimiento Nacional is not one of them.

So crowded have Spain's cities become that it would take him most of his three-hour lunch break to get home and back. The rush to the cities has had another effect as well.
