...Carrillo last week told TIME that the P.C.E. will accept Juan Carlos only if he is chosen by the Spanish people in "free elections" held under a "provisional government in which all political parties are present."

The day before he took office, Machel announced to a cheering crowd that the new government's first actions would be to abolish rent, to take over all private medical and legal services, and to nationalize all private and missionary schools. Machel's first press release after independence called for a development strategy that relies on the party core to organize the rural population into "revolutionary societies--communal villages...where that population will have...
