...housing alternatives. The best way to avoid or diminish the annual agonizing of freshmen assigned to Houses they dislike is a move to Yale's assignment system. Under this plan, all first-year students would be associated randomly with a House before they arrive in Cambridge, and allowed to transfer before sophomore year...
When Franco's demise had seemed imminent a week earlier, the transfer of power appeared to present no real problem. Within eight days of the dictator's death, Juan Carlos would have been named King by a joint declaration of the Cortes (parliament) and the 17-member advisory Council of the Realm. But for Juan Carlos to come to full and permanent power before Franco died would have required either 1) the dictator's resignation, or 2) a decree by the Cabinet, ratified by the Cortes and the National Council, stating that Franco was not competent...
Thus the only alternative was a "temporary" transfer of power to Juan Carlos-maintaining the fiction that Franco retained ultimate authority and might even recover from his illness.

In a Manhattan speech last week marking the 75th anniversary of the College Entrance Examination Board, Coleman offered his solution: let any student transfer to any school he chooses within an urban-suburban metropolitan area-provided only that the new school has fewer students of his own race than his old school...

While he had long wanted the Prince to have the title of head of state, el Caudillo also intended that the regime's authoritarian rule should be carried on by his closest friend, the ultraconservative Admiral Luis Carrero Blanco, who for seven years had served as Franco's subservient Vice President. Thus in 1973 Franco transferred his titles of President and head of government to Carrero Blanco, 70, who presumably would have become the real power behind Juan Carlos...
