...Necessarily Liberal. The leading member of the group is Planning Minister Laureano López Rodó, 48. A onetime administrative law professor. López Rodó is a protégé of Admiral Luis Carrero Blanco, who is Vice President and one of the few men Franco really trusts. He is also the probable choice for Premier under a restored monarchy. El Caudillo apparently listened when Carrero Blanco and López Rodó pointed out to him that the competent Opus Dei technocrats would do less boat-rocking than the Falangists. As a result, technocrats...
Died. Adolfo López Mateos, 59, progressive former President of Mexico; of a 1967 stroke from which he never fully recovered; in Mexico City. López Mateos was easily elected in 1958 as the candidate of Mexico's one major party, the Institutional Revolutionary Party, and spent the next six years bolstering Mexico's economy and international prestige.

Slight and elegantly tailored, Ferré defeated the P.D.P. candidate Luis Negrón López, thanks to a diversion of popular votes to Governor Roberto Sanchez Vilella. Ferré is unabashedly pro-American; the art museum that he founded and funded in his native Ponce was designed to symbolize the interaction of U.S. and Hispanic cultures. When Puerto Rico's economic level reaches that of the poorest...
...other candidates for the P.D.P. nomination immediately surfaced: Senate Majority Leader Luis Negrón López, 58, and Santiago Polanco Abreu, 47, the island's commissioner in Washington. Waiting to profit from the P.D.P.'s current split is Industrialist Luis Ferré, head of the pro-statehood New Progressive Party...
