...draining of some $200 million from the Spanish economy, Franco finally declared a state of emergency. To the three northern provinces of Asturias, Guipúzcoa and Vizcaya, he rushed reinforcements of armed police and civil guard units, partially suspended the fuero (the Spanish bill of rights). Said one Spaniard: "The only time we ever hear about the fuero is when it's suspended...
...addition, Tshombe was restocking the army's leadership by recruiting dozens of fresh mercenaries in Europe. One planeload of 32 white fighters already was flying south from Europe. When they got to Northern Rhodesia, Federal Premier Sir Roy Welensky nervously decided the visas of 26 Frenchmen and a Spaniard were not in order, turned them back. His border guards also confiscated 1,700 Ibs. of "clothing," which turned out to be military camouflage garb. 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.

With a baited line out for tourists (some 4,000 from Europe and the U.S. attended this year's festival), they began charting plans to speed reconstruction of the long dead city, to refurbish the theater to accommodate 4,000, as it did in Roman times, and to center future festivals in Caesarea...
Long & Patient. They quickly learned otherwise-and so did Gimeno's fellow pros. In his first professional match, the lanky (6 ft. 2 in., 160 Ibs.) Spaniard defeated Peru's Alex Olmedo. He then won 16 of his next 24 matches, earned the right to meet Pancho Gonzales in a 29-match, head-to-head contest for the professional championship of the world. On court, Gimeno bears a startling resemblance to the young Bill Tilden. His ground strokes are long, faultless and patient. His big serve darts and leaps. His apparent lethargy masks lightning-quick reflexes. Says Australia...
