. . . Qui Mal y Pense

Clean-minded Fascists in Portugal agree with their Spanish comrades that Iberia must be kept pure:

P: On the Costa do Sol beach outside Lisbon, Portuguese police fined a foreign correspondent 500 escudos for a lowered shoulder strap.

P: Young Joaquim Candido Rosado, walking along the Caes do Sodre docks in Lisbon, saw a fisherwoman slip and drop her basket of fish into the water. Joaquim tore off his shirt, plunged into the water, struggled back to the dock with the basket. Beside the grateful woman stood a policeman waiting to arrest shirtless Joaquim for "breaking all rules of decency."

P: Jose de Almeida, a peaceable shepherd, who did not own a bathing suit, was splashing in solitary nudity in a remote little river in Alto Alentejo. Two men came upon him, stared in horror for a moment, then screamed shrill protests. Jose, not the disputatious type, climbed up the river bank, silently shuffled into his hut. He emerged an instant later, calm and bare as ever, leveled his shotgun at his tormentors, killed one of them.
