...sent in cops with tear gas to disperse the mobs. It was an encouraging reminder that, whatever Frondizi said on the campaign trail, he was one of Perón's bitterest critics while the strongman ruled.

By year's end, estimates the USIA, headlong expansion will push the figures to 537 stations and 25 million receiving sets. In the Communist bloc, television is burgeoning almost as rapidly.
