...members sit on the privy council of Don Juan de Borbón y Battenberg, the pretender to the Spanish throne, and an Opus Dei priest serves as confessor to Prince Juan Carlos, who is next in line. Moreover, the country's only private university, the Pamplona-based Universidad de Navarra, is an out-and-out Opus Dei institution, and Opus Dei professors are being hired with increasing frequency for chairs in state universities...
Havana University was saturated then, even more than today, with politics. Among the students I met it seemed that their central concern at the University was politics; studies were only incidental.

Bogotá's art fraternity was enthusiastic about Rodriguez' luminous beauties. The Spanish ambassador asked to borrow two of them for exhibition in Spain. But decency leaguers, known as the beatas (the pious ones), were scandalized. Father Eduardo Ospina, Jesuit professor of art at the Universidad Javeriana, sided with the beatas: "Crowds don't possess the artistic capacity to appreciate the total beauty of the human body." Bogotá's Roman Catholic archbishop, Monsignor Crisanto Luque, formally asked the Education Ministry (which runs the museum) to take the offending ladies down...
