Juan Carlos, according to the constitution, had ten days to choose a new Premier.

A close friend of the King, Suárez, 43, has been a leading advocate of the government's reform program...

To support these su-persubs*-which are designed to replace the Polaris and Poseidon as nuclear deterrents-the Navy planned a $600 million complex with an estimated population of as many as 55,000 people. But the tract borders Hood Canal, a deep marine estuary leading off Puget Sound, and the more that local environmentalists learned about the Navy's plan...
