Seldom seen in pre-war Spain, but even more conspicuous last week, were the thin, elegant features of Ramón Serrano Suñer, fastest-climbing of Europe's modern politicos. Now 37, a lawyer educated in Italy, Señor Serrano's pre-war claims to distinction were his service as a Catholic deputy in the Cortes, his marriage to handsome Señorita Polo, sister of Señora Franco.
