Compared with government crises in the past, the 19 summit participants labored with uncommon zeal. Outside, chauffeurs of the 19 Alfa 2000s and Fiat 130s lined up along the villa's graveled drive, huddled over radios listening to the Italy-Argentina World Cup football match. Inside, like so many American officials unhappily missing a World Series, the political leaders gathered round a brocade-covered table in the Giulio Romano Room, so named for the artist who painted its frescoes. They did not even break for dinner-an uncommon sacrifice for Italian politicians-but had it boxed in by Rosati...
...shade of fiery Eva Peron must have winced. Touring Europe on behalf of her ailing husband, Argentina's President Juan Peron, 78, Isabelita, 44, made it clear that she was not trying to usurp his role. In Rome, Eva's successor gave a 55-minute speech defining the feminine ideal with a kicker worthy of Gertrude Stein: "Women have to be and feel no more than what they are and no less than what they must...
Export demand for wheat should decline because of big harvests in other nations, notably Argentina and Australia. A wheat carryover to 1975 of up to 500 million bushels is expected, v. an estimated 170 million for 1974.

This is quite a departure from US policy of the last decade and a half. I also indicated how it may be possible to use the informal structures of the inter-American system to reincorporate Cuba in at least some international discussions in the hemisphere. Thirdly, I commented that Kissinger's speech--as reported in the newspapers (I have not yet seen...
...last week after 144 days of captivity and after his firm paid $14.2 million hi ransom. Last November a U.S. Ford executive was killed in an apparent kidnap attempt. With such rampant violence seemingly beyond Perón's control, U.S. companies are pulling their personnel out of Argentina, and may well limit their investments. For Perón, that is a serious threat, one that could finally launch an all-out campaign against the leftists...
