New Style of Tyranny.

This article focuses on the political conditions of Portugal. Premier Marcelo Caetano has made a mark in the thirteen months since he succeeded the stroke-crippled Antonio de Oliveira Salazar, Portugal's dictator for more than forty years. While Salazar lives on in the Premier's Sao Bento Palace, partially paralyzed land still thinking he is in power, Caetano sells himself as a nicer, warmer, more human national leader. To this end, the 63-year-old former college teacher applies all the modern propaganda skills at his command, from periodic fireside chats on television to highly advertised handshaking tours through the villages of metropolitan Portugal.
