Forward is the course of Fernando Belaúnde Terry, 52, President of Peru and the man who in the past 19 months has captured the imagination of his people as no one before. He is an aristocrat, a member of one of Peru's older and wealthier families. Were it not for the force of circumstance, he would probably still be just a successful Lima architect.

...palace. Waiting police hurled tear gas. His eyes streaming, Belaúnde delivered an ultimatum: "I will wait half an hour. If by then I have not been inscribed, we will march." Odria grudgingly let him run. In the voting, Belaúnde lost to Manuel Prado, an aristocrat who had made a deal with APRA: legality and an end to repression in return for APRA votes.

His dying words to his daughter, "Put on your white dress. I always liked it," have the poignant impact of mortality that only the greatest writers achieve with the simplest of sentiments. His son, Prince Andrei (Donald Moffat), has the ache of desolation in his face, a man who goes off to war because death has already claimed his heart. As Andrei's love-tossed, love-lost Natasha, Rosemary Harris...
