After Arias' proclamation, Spain officially entered a 30-day period of national mourning. In Madrid, the morning newspapers were on the streets with headlines long since set: FRANCO HA MUERTO. Radio stations dropped regular programming to play hour after hour of solemn requiem music. Later that day, Franco's body, dressed in a captain-general's uniform with a red sash, was borne from La Paz Hospital to El Pardo, his official residence outside Madrid, for a private funeral Mass. Spain's new ruler, Juan Carlos de BorbÓn y Borb...
...Sunday the King presided over an official public state funeral, which was attended by Vice President Nelson Rockefeller, Chilean President Augusto Pinochet, Jordan's King Hussein, and Monaco's Prince Rainier.

Columbia Professor Emeritus Jacques Barzun, who collaborated with Trilling for 36 years in a course on cultural history, admired the way "his thoughts progressed in a rational manner from beginning to end." A student who took that Barzun-Trilling course remembers most vividly the moment when some unfortunate victim cited...
...that "if" is a large one, resting squarely on the word "throw." At yesterday's practive, a sweat-suited Kubacki went through the motions.
