...optical illusion have been completed, the U.N. is ready for one of its more unusual feats of legerdemain, a full-dress, seven-day Security Council meeting this week in Panama City. The meeting almost certainly will be used to air a variety of Latin American grievances, such as Argentina's demand for the Falkland Islands and Guatemala's demand for British Honduras. But the noisiest grievances will presumably come from the host. Panamanian Strongman Omar Torrijos calls the Canal Zone "a tumor that must go through the operating room...
Last week Argentina's ex-dictator Juan Perón, 77, was heading back to Madrid at the close of a "vacation" trip that had taken him to five countries, including-of all places-Rumania.

...success. As president of Fiat France from 1965 to 1970, he doubled the firm's auto sales in that country. Later, as president of Fiat International, he made Italy's bestselling car the most popular import throughout the rest of Western Europe, started building Fiat factories in Argentina and Poland, and launched an energetic sales campaign in the U.S. Since 1970, the number of Fiats sold in the American market has doubled, to nearly 60,000 last year.
