...brand of individualism. Who but Julio would exhibit 38 paintings devoted exclusively to the Armada (see color)? Actually, there are many reasons why he became intrigued by the Armada, from the fact that it set sail on May 9,* his birthday, to the fact that it is in every Spaniard's blood. Most of the paintings are small, but their scale does not detract from their impact. The ships struggle against wind and fire in a kind of wild dance; they glow bright red, founder among emerald waves, finally surrender to the sloshing rhythm of the sea. There...
Franco's officials have arrested perhaps two hundred of the miners themselves, but in general have tried to avoid force. The tough Guardia Civil is noticeably absent; in the mining areas, the grey-uniformed civilian security police are in charge-and as one Spaniard put it, they do not have the "smell" of the tough old order.

But five tough-looking Belgian "mechanics" who had valid visas (and boasted openly to reporters that they were professional fighters) got on a train...
...Spaniard in him still ruled the spirit of his work. It shows in the nobility of his Don Quixote. And even in his most abstract work, there are the symbols of Spain-a Spanish comb, the fringe of a shawl, a guitar's strings, the horns of a bull. The show-57 sculptures, five enamels, 41 drawings and pastels-will tour the United States and Canada until 1963. Everywhere it travels, it will remind sculptors of their debt to Gonzalez, and of the iron-hard sadness of his life and thought...
