Signs of Change. Everyone knew better. Isabel's mission was to enliven last week's Peronista rally scheduled for the 20th anniversary of Perón's rise to power-and thus brighten his fading image among the 3,000,000 or so Argentines who call themselves Peronistas.

Other Chinese battalions guard Jelep Pass and the smaller passes into Sikkim. The tough Chinese troops at Natu, whom we had come up to see, have...
