...swept-back hair, but the cosmetic is not enough. Juan Domingo Perón, almost 78, looks his age -and feels it. He tires easily; he has trouble concentrating. Yet he must try to marshal his failing faculties. Nearly two decades after he was run out of Argentina, a deposed, despised despot, Peron is home again, exalted again, in charge again of one of the richest countries in Latin America...
