...Human lives are the main thing. If there is a way to save them, it should be done, no matter what the cost." Thus wrote Argentina's onetime President (1955-58), retired Lieut. General Pedro Eugenio Aramburu, after the recent rash of political kidnapings that have shaken Latin America. Last week there were fears that the stern, uncompromising Aramburu, 68, had lost his own life to a band of terrorists...

...stadiums and the race tracks. All the while the military argued to exhaustion, divided over two propositions, one side arguing: "Let's get Frondizi out first, then talk," the other, "Frondizi had better stay, but he will have to take orders." Above the battle ex-President Pedro Eugenio Aramburu, a respected old soldier, requested eight to ten days to mediate the differences be tween Frondizi and the military. Frondizi himself labored to assemble an uncontroversial Cabinet of technicians agreeable to the military. It was by no means certain that this would be enough to save his skin...
