Spain Today and the Wars of Freedom
A reflective piece argues the Spanish Civil War was not a simple clash of fascism and democracy, noting Moscow’s later influence on the Republic and the varied outcomes in Spain under Franco. It defends Franco's role aiding Jews during WWII, NATO ties, and cautions against US sanctimony in lecturing others, urging a sober view of Spain’s current path toward democracy and neutrality. It also cites John Davis Lodge and includes local notices on deer bag results and community events in Bennington.
