Though a number of ministers shivered under their parkas in the shooting stands, el Caudillo happily tilted his rifle at wild boar and stag, wearing merely a sweater beneath his business suit. At day's end, he democratically announced only the group's total bag of 76 assorted animals, one of which was nailed by Francisco Franco Martinez Bordiu, 11, the dictator's grandson and namesake...

Many old Bavarian families stubbornly resisted the Nazis and were singled out for persecution by Hitler; after the war, they were able to reclaim their confiscated holdings intact, and ever since have managed to keep the boar from the door with conspicuous success. One of their liveliest members is handsome Prince "Alfie" Auersperg, who was down to his last Schloss a few years ago; today he boasts a priceless collection of French paintings and a U.S. heiress for a wife.
