Madden, a Korean veteran who spent 15 months as a PW. Although adverse winds edged them out of a supersonic trip, all six contestants, all flying North...

Possibly for the first time, the grievances of Spain's rising middle classes (of whose restlessness under rigid Falange controls the student riots were a symptom) also claimed Franco's consideration.
