...carrying the black-and-red banners of the Falange, aging veterans proudly sporting their Spanish Civil War ribbons, and thousands of ordinary men and women. By high noon, an estimated 500,000 Madrileños had crowded into the broad Plaza de Oriente, which faces the imposing 18th century royal palace. For two hours, the mob waved banners-one read GOD SAVE US FROM WEAK GOVERNMENT-sang hymns, chanted Falangist slogans, and shot their right arms up in a rigid fascist salute to the empty second-floor balcony...
...into Europe and the Common Market, Franco last winter ceded to them the commanding voice in the government. The ascendancy of Opus Dei has deeply wounded the once supreme Falangists, who fought beside the Caudillo in the '30s. They vented their rage last week in front of the royal palace, shouting "Franco sí, gobierno no!"-"Franco yes, the government...
Everywhere last week, or so it seemed, music was celebrating the birth of one of its mightiest titans 200 years ago on an upper floor of Bonngasse 515, Bonn. New productions of Fidelio were unveiled at Stockholm's Royal Opera and New York's Metropolitan. Bonn capped months of festivities with the Missa solemnis.

Florida's Youngblood creates a different kind of havoc. Deceptively fast for his size, he reads screens and swing passes so adroitly that he intimidates quarterbacks...
Despite Gentele's onstage credentials, there is some skepticism as to whether he is the right man for the job. Swedish critics have tended to prefer his directing to his administrating. In Stockholm, where the government picks up all but $800,000 of the Royal Opera's annual $6,400,000 budget, Gentele never had to bother with such problems as fund raising and the kind of bitter union bargaining that last year forced the Met to cancel half its season. If the Met has its way, the fund-raising load may be lighter in the future: last...
