...Argo (ARG ZRG687-8) issue is simply a conservative product, joining the other seven traditional recordings of the Suites listed in Schwann's. It says practically nothing new. There is passing obeisance to research, evident in the over-dotted rhythms of the overtures and in some imaginatively-ornamented solo passages. The flute and harpsichord playing, by William Bennett and Thurston Dart respectively, is first-rate. But this is just another rendition with tempos quicker than usual. If you are wearing out your old Herman Scherchen or Karl Ristenpart' discs, then this would be a good replacement...
Somoza may wonder now why he ever got involved in such a silly business. Over in the Dominican Republic, Dictator Trujillo brazened it out, elected himself a fourth time. Somoza, on the other hand, found that Leonardo Argüello, the stooge he had got elected, did not intend to be a stooge. Argüello began calling on Guardia officers to declare their loyalty to him. Almost half of them did. Then Argüello overreached himself: he gave Tachito Somoza a dressing down, banished him from the capital. Papa Tacho moved in. Argüello fled...

His name was Leonardo Argüello, and only 30 mourners followed his body from the funeral parlor on the Paseo de la Reforma to the Spanish Cemetery on the city's outskirts. That was not many for the ex-President of Nicaragua whom thousands damned last January when he took office as a stooge of Dictator Somoza, praised last spring when he cut loose to give Nicaragua a brief moment...
...Argüello's death in exile had its measure of victory. The fight against Somoza would go on. Most American nations would continue to refuse diplomatic recognition to Bad Neighbor Somoza. For his few months of defiance, Argüello himself might even become a symbol of freedom...
When Nicaraguan Dictator Anastasio Somoza forcibly knocked over the Government of his too-independent successor, President Leonardo Argüello (TIME, June 9), the U.S., along with the other nations of the hemisphere, was presented with a neat dilemma. To recognize Somoza's puppet regime would be to condone an irresponsible and undemocratic coup. To refuse to recognize him would mean a departure from the general diplomatic practice of recognizing any government that is clearly in power and that promises to live up to its international obligations...
