...hopes of lobbying for labor gains, Spain's workers have boldly launched a grass-roots organization of their own as a rival to the syndicates. Called the Workers' Commissions movement, it has spread rapidly iow has chapters in factories all over Spain; it has also reached some white-collar employees, such as bank clerks and office personnel. In theory, the commissions are illegal, but in fact they are tacitly tolerated by the government, though one of their organizers, ex-Socialist Marcelino Camacho, is now on trial in Madrid on charges of leading an illegal demonstration.

Measuring the flow of North Vietnamese men and materiel into South Viet Nam is no easy task. The most telling evidence arrives at the Pentagon and the White House in the form of sharp, 9-in.-square photographs ferried by Air Force courier planes from Asia each day.

It is a 2,000-year-old tradition that the leading dancer be the daughter of the king-and though Sihanouk...
...more logical was the Amer ican League's decision to split in two. "Nobody," explained one club owner, "wants to finish twelfth in a twelve-team league." But the way the divisions are set up, two clubs could wind up hurting in first. The Minnesota Twins and Chicago White Sox are assigned to the league's western division, along with two expansion teams - in Kansas City and Seattle - and the lackluster Oakland Athletics and California Angels. They will play 21 fewer home games against the more attractive easte:rn teams - Boston, Cleveland, Detroit, Baltimore, New York and Washington...
