Franco and Brezhnev

If Martin would pass his driving test,
they could buy a cheap car and ride
to the south. Spain ... Ron said.
Impossible ... Martin said ... Franco!



Ron and Nick weren't impressed. Martin had
inherited his father's rather traditional leftist
conception. For example, Moscow had to be
spared somewhat ... determine the main enemy.
But Ron and Nick retaliated: Hungary ...
Czechoslovakia ... nomenklatura ... Brezhnev's car
and horse collections ... all his country houses.



Being long-haired not always meant leftism ...
although ... They weren't conservative ...
anti-Franco ... anti-Nixon ... and had been
to Barcelona last year... Catalonia is ...
yet different than Spain. Smoked the best
hash ever ... They knew a fantastic beach
resort over there. Richard didn't mind going
to Spain ... it was cheap. But Martin failed
the written test ... they had to take the train.
