...cause of death, according to the final hospital bulletin, was "irreversible cardiac arrest." It was something of a medical miracle that the frail Caudillo had survived so long as that. In the 34 days since Franco first collapsed with chest pains, he had undergone three operations that attempted to stem massive internal hemorrhaging and had suffered variously from Parkinson's disease, phlebitis, pulmonary edema and kidney failure. Even in conservative Catholic Spain, some questioned whether the 32 attending doctors might have striven too earnestly to keep the failing dictator alive. His nephew Nicolás Franco answered: "I think...
...will continue doing business in sewing machines, which turned a profit of $34 million last year. Singer's troubles stem from a massive diversification program undertaken during the 1960s. Under Kircher, Singer acquired a host of companies, including a maker of navigation and guidance systems and a mail-order house. Some of the deals worked out well; others have not-notably a venture into business machines...

Local investigators are trying to determine...
...dictates of society pressure them to remain so. Brownmiller deftly dismisses the Freudian theories of such psychiatrists as Helen Deutsch--proponents of the myth that women are at heart masochists, who can not only "enjoy" rape, but, in fact, fantasize about it. Theories such as these both stem from and help support the myth that women "ask for it", that they are somehow to be held responsible for their own violation and humiliation. The sorrowful disgrace of this is not only that men are socialized to accept these debilitating myths, but women are as well. Women have traditionally been taught...
