...heart of the dispute was the stubborn fact that President Pedro Aramburu's acts and attitudes toward the Roman Catholic Church pleased almost no one. The proclerical wing of Argentine opinion, which threw its considerable weight against Perón only after he had imprudently attacked the church, felt defrauded: Aramburu did not restore the church's prerogatives, such as religious education in public schools.

Apparently confident and at ease despite official auspices, Radeglia told reporters he thought Perón was suffering from a "nervous imbalance." He confirmed that Perón wanted to bring to Panama Nelly Rivas, his 16-year-old mistress during his last days as President (TIME, Oct. 10), who was turned back a fortnight ago as she tried to leave Argentina via Paraguay.
