...Black and The Knight of the Red House, but misses Capital. Marxism emerges as the only political philosophy offering hopes of progress. The Student, a young popular leader who organizes the first general strike, comes to symbolize the Communist answer to the Head of State's corrupt method. Though he does not succeed in bringing about a popular revolution, near the end of the book The Student surfaces in Paris as he is leaving for the "First World Conference on Colonial and Imperialist Politics" in the company of Jawaharlal Nehru. He is moving into the future, while the Head...
...front of the government palace smiling relaxedly at women or cheerfully playing with pigeons in the park. An April 4 Times editorial implied that Videla's regime was moderate and well intentioned. True, there had been arrests in the first few days, but these were rather selectively aimed at corrupt Peronist functionaries. The contrast with Chile was evident and the efficiency and advance notice of the coup were even treated with touches of good humor...
...many years before the coup, Isabel and Juan Peron ruled over a corrupt right-wing bureaucracy which maneuvered and stole with full support of the Peronist-dominated congress.

...committed his crimes in a less corrupt regime, Spiro Agnew would have earned himself a prominent place in the history texts: The Vice President Who Resigned in Ignominy. As it is, he will be recorded merely as a footnote to Watergate. The speed with which he was forgotten was remarkable; after he left Washington on October 10, 1973, there were no prayers offered by Rabbi Korff, no million dollar interviews with David Frost, no Woodward and Bernstein account of his (and Judy's) final hours. It was not long before many had forgotten that he had not been felled...
