...Eight to one, it declared illegal his impeachment by the opposition-dominated National Assembly (TIME, April 5) and the installation of First Vice President Max Delvalle as his successor. That means that Robles will rule until the winner of the May 12 elections takes office. The candidates are Arnulfo Arias, who led the movement to impeach Robles, and Prime Minister David Samudio, whom Robles backs...
...crucial support of the country's 4,000-man national guard. On Delvalle's side was the powerful, five-party National Union coalition, which represents 75% of the popular vote - based on the 1964 elections - and is now led by the favored opposition candidate, Arnulfo Arias, 66, the wily politician who organized the ouster proceedings.

...that ancient history didn't bother the voters, who overwhelmingly elected Tito to the National Assembly last month. Running with him as an alter nate Deputy was one Alfredo Jimènez, 33, an old crony who campaigned energetically for both Tito and Arnulfo. In return, he fully expected to be chosen from the elected alternates to sit in for Tito whenever he is away. Since that is often, Jimènez was counting on earning a near full-scale $12,000 annually. But Tito chose someone else as his alternate, and Jimenez was left holding...
