Wrecking the Party. The most obvious aspirant was Mayor Vincent R. Impellitteri. Democrat Impellitteri, 53, is a likable, cigar-smoking politician who has been in his profession so long that even his casual conversations manage to sound like scraps from political speeches. In the 1950 elections, he bucked his own party machine and won, running as an independent on a ticket titled Experience Party. By now, with three years of distributing City Hall patronage behind him, he has considerable Democratic Party support...
...diplomatic corps met at the Argentine embassy for evening cocktails, chatted amiably with Andrei Vishinsky, who had been summoned from his Long Island mansion at the end of May.

At a big barricade in front of Eighth Army headquarters, the scratched and bleeding girls were pushed from behind, and clashed again with M.P.s and police. Water hoses dispersed...
...casual visitor to Buenos Aires is not likely to see many outward signs of a police state. The people are well fed and well clothed, and the look on the faces of afternoon strollers on Calle Florida is not one of misery. But the police state can be evident, even to the casual observer. One Saturday afternoon late last year, some engineering students threw a handful of anti-Perón leaflets from an upper-story window on a busy downtown street. Within 15 minutes, ten plainclothes policemen had arrested everyone caught reading the leaflets. Thirty-nine people were jailed...
