That this fragile shoot requires watchful nurturing was dramatized last week when 150,000 shouting Spaniards flooded Madrid's Plaza de Oriente to pay tribute to the late dictator Franco on the third anniversary of his death. Blue-shirted members of the Fuerza Nueva (New Force), an extreme right-wing group, marched to the site in military formation and mingled with grizzled Civil War veterans and youths with Nazi swastika armbands. Others who crowded into the square were simply ordinary conservatives, nostalgic for days long gone when life seemed more disciplined and predictable...
...Third World is also moving into steelmaking. Brazil and Mexico have already become exporters. Argentina and Chile are increasing their capacity. By the early 1980s some of the oil-producing Arab countries will be turning out steel. In shipbuilding, South Korea and Brazil have some yards that are more modern than Western Europe's.

Leading the conference to a middle ground was UNESCO's director general, Amadou Mahtar M'Bow, of Senegal.

In 1976 President Ford selected the moderate Republican for a 14-year term on the Fed's seven-member board of governors...
...piece of cake for Bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger, who weighs in at 215. In fact, both stars of Hal Needham's upcoming comedy western, The Villain, are trim and fit. Says Arnold: "Ann-Margret can run six miles without breathing hard." Only good form, of course, to hold the third bankable name in the cast up for praise, too. "Kirk Douglas is very muscular and lean and in great shape," judges Schwarzenegger. "I've never seen him step onto a horse, he jumps." Oh, and the horse! It's actually six look-alike horses who do different stunts...
