Ever since Homer called it "the navel of the sea," Malta has been an island in search of an umbilical cord.

Rebel hotspurs talked of seizing the fallen strongman and bringing him to trial. But the deep-rooted Latin American tradition of political asylum prevailed, and Juan Perón. gone with the winter, got a safe-conduct for a boat trip into Paraguayan exile...
