...someone must pick up - the pieces and arrange to pay the damages. In Argentina, nearly bankrupt after a giddy decade under Dictator Juan Perón, the cleanup man is dour, professorial Arturo Frondizi, 50, the country's 31st President. Frondizi is the successor to Provisional President Pedro Aramburu (TIME Cover, June 3, 1957), the general who restored Argentina's democratic political system and presided over the free election a year ago that gave Frondizi a victory. In six months, Frondizi has sharply lifted Argentina's prestige and credit by a stern, undemagogic economic program that embodies...
Washington and London officially denied that any of their submarines were missing or overdue. Moscow was silent, though the Soviet embassy in Buenos Aires said it knew of no Russian submarines in the area. Rear Admiral Isaac Rojas, who was Vice President under Provisional President Pedro Aramburu, believes that the submarine was surveying the lonely Patagonian coast, where there are several bays that could be used to shelter big fleets in the event...
Friends in the Cabinet.

Wooden handles stamped "made south of parallel 42" were slapped into imported shovels, wooden bases with the same markings were attached to Japanese sewing machines, and all the loot found its way north to market. Most lucrative item of all was the automobile, legally subject to duties of six times...
With such profits available for bribes, no crackdown short of abolishing the free zone is likely to work. Aramburu made a token start by banning importation of a few luxury items to Patagonia. Last week customs announced the arrest of three leaders of one car-smuggling ring. But in Puerto Madryn the steamer went on unloading the jewelry, 5,000 cases of whisky, 1,000 cases of rum, bales of Brussels lace, crates of fireworks. As every Patagonian knew, such choice merchandise was not going to the goats...
