He won financing from industrialists by promising high tariffs; he won support from the Catholic Church by spurning the Radicals' advocacy of legalized divorce; he won Socialist and Communist approval by promises to expand the nationalization of oil, steel, rail, mining, telephone and power. He sharply attacked General Pedro Aramburu's provisional government, which gave him his chance to run. "Where do you stand?" he was asked once as he left Aramburu's office.

If the rails were fastened in cool weather, a hot summer day might make them expand and buckle out of line. So each 10,000-ft. length of massive rail was stretched 3 ft. by hydraulic jacks. At ordinary temperatures the rails are under tension like piano strings. Only on the hottest days do they barely relax. After the rails were stretched, they were aligned...
