Last week Little Touré was rumored to be under sentence of death, along with two former government ministers, an army battalion commander and a slew of petty traders - all members, apparently, of an outfit known...
Last week the battered front was showing some new signs of life-thanks to the statesman who devised the for mula in the first place. He is Alberto Lleras Camargo, the longtime Liberal leader (and distant cousin of Lleras Restrepo) who served ably from 1958 to 1962 as the front's first President, then retired to Manhattan and a job as editorial chairman of Visión, Latin America's leading Spanish-language newsmagazine.
