Traditionally dominant-and conservative-in Argentine politics, the military had made things hot for Frondizi last August when he entertained Cuban Economic Czar "Che" Guevara at a private meeting. Now the three service chiefs, Army Secretary Brigadier General Rosendo M. Fraga, the navy's Rear Admiral Gaston C. Clement and the air force's Brigadier General Jorge Rojas Silveyra, accused Frondizi of "reneging" on his promise to take a firm stand against Cuba. They demanded that he fire his Foreign Minister and break diplomatic relations with Cuba forthwith...

He says that the gold content is unimportant: his jewelry would have...
...Polka Saloon. Sunset. Suddenly the sheriff rises from the faro table and snarls at an amateur gunslinger: "Ragazzo, e l'whisky che lavora [Boy, your whisky is too strong]." His angry Italian rings strangely in that watering place of the American frontier. His opponent is fast on the draw, but not fast enough: on the stairway appears a girl in fringed jerkin and boots, firing from the hip. The revolver spins out of the gunslinger's hand. The girl strides coolly across the bar. "Vi do la buona sera, sceriffo" she says to the sheriff...
