...repeatedly raised issues with the slavishly pro-Franco majority on key legislation. Convinced that Franco's pledge of "democratic evolution" should come sooner rather than later, they have managed to get an airing for their views by the novel tactic of putting on a kind of legislative road show all over Spain.

...sophisticated new jazz artist now playing on the West Coast. Since forming his own trio last May, he has made one swinging LP, Arrival of a Young Giant (World Pacific), and on a single day last July he appeared on three major network programs: Showcase '68, the Today show and Johnny Carson. He was a smash at the Hollywood Bowl and the Monterey Jazz Festival. Last week the Craig Hundley Trio * set off on a tour of the Midwest with Singer Johnny Mathis and his band.
