fuck, what troops ...! Mondrian


early twentieth century there was no newspaper in this country better placed for the first fruits that the ABC. The writing was on the Paseo de la Castellana, next to the palace of Don Alvaro de Figueroa, Count of Romanones, and those reporters writing their stories with black hood and sleeves, amid the smell of the linotype lead, were always the first to learn of changes of government.
