...newsman in a foreign country, the biggest problem usually is finding a way to send his story home. Thus, the first thing a correspondent learns wherever he goes is the location of the nearest cable office. But for Buenos Aires Bureau Chief Charles Eisendrath, a TIME correspondent since 1968, this classic rule was impossible to follow last week. Less than 24 hours after arriving in Santiago, Chile, for a long-awaited interview with President Salvador Allende Gossens, Eisendrath found a government collapsing and Allende dead−literally across the street from his lodgings in the Carrera-Sheraton Hotel. More than...
...doctors have warned him that the rebirth of his political career could hasten his death. Just as ominous, though, is the problem that Peron faces within his own political movement, which is sharply split between the right and the left. The rightists, reports TIME Buenos Aires Bureau Chief Charles Eisendrath, seem as loyal as ever, willing to follow el Líder virtually wherever he takes them. But the leftists, who include many youths barely born when Perón was ousted by a military coup in 1955, are relying on him to create a "socialist fatherland." They give indications...
...appearance of two characters named Hannifin and Eisendrath in a recently published espionage novel called The Spy Trap that first quickened our interest. As the plot of The Spy Trap thickened, more and more characters sharing the names of TIME staff members began to turn up in the book. Reporter-Researcher Sara Collins (now Sara C.

Meanwhile, reports TIME'S Buenos Aires Bureau Chief Charles Eisendrath, there is the irony of Argentine political life. It evokes, says Eisendrath, an image "despairingly similar to the landscapes of supercharged atrocity by Hieronymus Bosch. In the foreground a man accused of seducing a teen-age girl while he was President of the country has just re-entered it as a saint. Perón is flanked on one side by his third wife, Isabelita, 42, once a nightclub performer in Panama. On the other side of el Lider is Lopecito-Jose Lopez Rega-a former army corporal...
...background, Eisendrath adds, is the mummified corpse of Evita, "the radio announcer who became successively the saint's mistress, his political manager, second wife and, finally, in death, his greatest spiritual asset. The compelling allure of the corpse, which is reportedly being transported to Argentina, is reflected by numerous posters of the dead woman. 'Evita returns,' they proclaim, 'dead or alive!' " In the days ahead, Perón may need all the help he can get. Unless he can move quickly to end the violence, his government's resolve to restore stability in Argentina...
