...matters, but several thousand of their communicants staged a spontaneous procession to the burned churches, and shouted for the return of Bishop Manuel Tato, one of the high-ranking prelates exiled by Perón just before the revolt.

Buenos Aires' Bishop Miguel de Andrea, the only high-ranking Argentine prelate who steadfastly opposed Perón during the 1945-54 period, threw off his colorful vestments at the altar in burned San Miguel Church and told the congregation that henceforth he would wear only simple black as a sign that his soul...
Market Up. Already the bomb craters in the Plaza de Mayo were filled in and paved over. The jittery stock market picked up. The Colon opera house found the tension relaxed enough to present Giordano's Andrea Chenier, which sings of a French revolutionary's doomed, gallant fight for what many Argentines still wish they had: liberty.

Judith, a lovely, pious and patriotic widow of Bethulia, made her way into Holofernes' camp, tent, and affections. After three days' dalliance she caught him napping, removed his head, and stole back to town with her trophy. Soon afterwards the siege was lifted.) Mantegna's panel was probably one of a series on the theme...
...factory girl, took the toreador from the bull into the prize ring and turned the words from Spanish-flavored French into minstrel-show English. With all these modern wonders, the Metropolitan Opera dared to compete, by staging a revival of Umberto Giordano's opera of the French Revolution, Andrea Chénier, a work it has not done in 21 years...
