...including former President Héctor Campora, ex-Deputy Leonardo Bettanin and former Education Minister Jorge Taiana, were A.A.A. targets. "Now five are down, and the leftists will keep falling no matter where they are," said the clumsily worded communique. Among those since slain by the A.A.A. was Silvio Frondizi, brother of former President Arturo Frondizi. A lawyer well known for serving as defense counsel to several alleged left-wing guerrillas, Frondizi was dragged from his home by the hair and shot in the back -"the way traitors are shot," his executioners explained. His son-in-law was also killed...
Secret Files. In one installment of his series, Farago gave former Argentine President Arturo Frondizi credit for helping Israeli agents capture Eichmann on the outskirts of Buenos Aires in 1960. Frondizi, who protested at the time of the capture that it was a violation of Argentine sovereignty, denied Farago's report and called it libelous. In another installment, Farago quoted a Dr. Horacio A. Perillo, whom he described as the former "chief of Frondizi's Cabinet." Perillo was actually only a low-echelon adviser. But in Buenos Aires last week he was offering newsmen corroboration of Farago...
First Hints. The beginning of the end came last November, when Illia and Onganía had a falling out. A tough professional soldier who sticks rigidly to the traditional army code, Onganía is a man of quiet authority and determination.

For his pains, Onganía was made...
...Only the strong hand of the military, which threw him out in the name of constitutional government, keeps him from returning-legitimately-to power. In March 1962, after Peronistas captured the governorships of nine provinces and won 44 seats in the national legislature, the military deposed President Arturo Frondizi, and managed to get Illia elected by disqualifying Peronista candidates for the electoral college. The Jujuy results raised an interesting question: If he keeps on losing elections, how much longer will the generals tolerate Dr. Illia...
Three years ago, in the months that followed the military overthrow of President Arturo Frondizi, the country ricocheted from crisis to crisis as rival army factions fought bitterly for control. Ongania, then commander of the army's crack motorized cavalry corps, emerged as the muscle behind a group of enlightened officers determined to reestablish constitutional government. He sent tanks rumbling into the city and, after a series of sharp, bloody clashes, routed the army's Colorado faction, which stood for old-style, jack-booted dictatorship. Illia's peaceful election ten months later consolidated Ongania's triumph...
