...Soviet claims of pre-eminence in the Communist movement, Berlinguer declared: "We reject the thesis that a single model of socialist society suitable for all situations can exist." An independent mood was also reflected in the speeches of party leaders from Australia, Austria, Britain, Rumania, Sweden and the illegal Spanish party...
...General Francisco Franco is to reclaim Gibraltar for Spain, and in pursuit of that aim he has gone to considerable lengths in recent years. In order to convince Britain that it ought to abandon its claim to the Rock, Spain has choked off vehicular border traffic, forbidden overflights of Spanish territory by British military aircraft, and even secured a United Nations General Assembly judgment condemning Gibraltar's "colonial situation."

Last year, sales of Darts slipped to only 1,598, and Simcas to 31,106, out of a total Spanish car production of more than 300,000. To help the company get back on its feet, Chrysler planned another $30 million stock offering, which would have further reduced Barreiros' share of ownership. That, most likely, was what prompted Barreiros and his brothers to resign, though they still retain about...
