Portugal's outraged Socialist leader, Mario Scares-perhaps the country's best hope for Socialism with a human face -resigned from the government, in which he served as Minister Without Portfolio, declaring that his party "will never accept a dictatorship."

Adam Smith never mentioned capitalism in any of his works; he preferred the term natural order...
...stationer, also disappears. Salt-his first name is never used-is joined in the countdown by Maggie Culworth, the bookseller's no-nonsense daughter. The opulent mystery, involving a suicide, a murder and a succession of set-tos with Birkden's Mr. Big, incidentally reveals Old Socialist Priestley's sardonic disenchantment with the I'm-All-Right-Jack society...
