Last year ITT's power and presumptuousness came to light with disclosures that it stood ready to underwrite with cash any efforts the CIA might be considering to prevent the election of Salvador Allende, Chile's Marxist President. At home-if such a cozy term can be used for a multinational-ITT provided an early trickle to the Watergate. ITT Lobbyist Dita Beard's secret memo found its way into Jack Anderson's column, where it told of a $400,000 pledge for the 1972 Republican Convention. All this occurred shortly before the Justice Department settled...

In the first of four nationwide radio and television addresses during the day, he declared that "the majority of the army troops support the government" and asked that his supporters remain "serene" while loyal military forces cleaned up the situation.

...best contemporary painters are Spanish: Joan Miró, Salvador Dali, the late Pablo Picasso and the late Juan Gris. Of these, the greatest is Dali. At least those are his opinions, delivered during a speech entitled "Velásquez and I" at the Prado. Madrid's al ta sociedad was on hand-but museum authorities were not-for the vernissage of the only contemporary painting in the famous gallery: Dali's portrait of a lady riding a horse as in a surrealist dream. His subject: Francó's granddaughter Carmencita, Princess Alfonso de Borb...
