...launched into Face to the Sun, the anthem of the right-wing Falangist shopkeepers and tradesmen who sided with Franco when he began his bloody struggle for power 39 years ago and have been unswerving in their support of him ever since. Franco spoke only three minutes in his thin, barely audible voice, but that was all he needed. Spain was under assault by "a leftist Masonic conspiracy," he said, and was a victim of politicking "by certain corrupt countries." But no one, he declared, should forget that "to be Spanish is to be something in the world. Arriba, Espa...

...City Rollers (TIME, Sept. 22), a tepid teen-age group hyped erroneously as the Beatles' successors. A more worthwhile satellite trip to Las Vegas' MGM Grand Hotel exhibited the magic team of Siegfried and Roy briskly turning lions, tigers and panthers into each other and thin air. The evening's worst-called play featured Nonstop Composer Paul Anka accompanying Tennis Star Jimmy Connors in his crooning debut.
