Soon, outraged army officers were meeting to plan a counterattack. Well before Hostage Beihl's release last week on Christmas Day, the army's strategy became clear, as "spontaneous" pro-Franco rallies spread from Madrid to Santander and other cities...
Today Johnson gets mixed results from his old products. Sales of Ultra Wave, including the original hair straightener, remain sluggish, but the similar Ultra Sheen line for women is doing well.
