Buenos Aires bulged with political gossip. Most pungent rumor was that onetime President Agustin Pedro Justo was quietly readying a comeback. Many party bigwigs, already culling candidates for the national elections in 1943, derisively termed him "a political candidate in search of a party."

Flamenco Agustin Castellan Sabicas is a wonderful guitarist, and Uncle Sebastian Manzano (hairy and called El Pelao, the bald one) admits to having two wives and 18 children in Spain. It is Carmen Amaya who stops the show with the wrigglings of her round rump and wiry body, the tossings of her disheveled gypsy hair, the animal fury of her tough, splash-mouthed face.
