...army, navy and air force chiefs in a single, deft purge. The move rid General Onganía of a significant liberal military opposition and gave him near-absolute power for the first time in his 26 months in office. The officers he sacked were Lieut. General Julio Alsogaray, Admiral Benigno Varela, commander of naval operations, and Brigadier General Adolfo Alvarez, air force commander in chief...
...most important among them was Army Commander in Chief Alsogaray, the man Onganía was really after.

Food-hoarding speculators pushed the cost of living higher still, and the cruzeiro was down to almost 600 to the dollar. Off to Washington, on the same route as that taken by Argentina's Alsogaray, flew Brazil's Finance Minister, Walther Moreira Salles, to seek still another stretch-out in his country's $3 billion foreign debt...
