Next night, Saporiti dropped in at the presidential residence in suburban Olivos, spent an hour and a half with Mrs. Frondizi. Speaking Italian (the language used at home by her Italian-descended family), they spoke of many things, from the impact of various Argentine politicians on her husband to a recipe for pasticcio di maccheroni (both agreed it is one of the finest dishes in North Italian cuisine). Bias-hill, who has covered newsbeats from Panmunjom to Madrid, followed the trail of other leading characters in the drama, at one point found himself telephoning a militant Peronist from the office...
...Covering Frondizi's final hours of determined battle against the military last week, TIME'S team in Argentina and New York found their story of explosive events flowing naturally from the definitive study of the situation that they had produced the week before. For the result, see THE HEMISPHERE. By Right of Might...
Argentina's President Arturo Frondizi was known more for his political nimbleness than for his determination. But rarely has a Latin American President clung so courageously to his elected office in the face of such overwhelming opposition.

But eventually the protest became a test of force from which neither side could turn. When all appeals and offers had failed, Frondizi ordered his presidential guard from the palace and sat down to wait alone, still grimly determined to preserve at least the form...
...Frondizi was safely at home, his rest disturbed only by a sad 2 a.m. scene with 33 officers and men of his special presidential guard. The men offered to protect him with their lives. "My only protection is the law and our constitution," said Frondizi and went to bed. At 7:35 a.m., Frondizi's naval aide received a phone call, then placed the President under arrest. "Where are you taking me?" asked Frondizi. "To Martin Garcia Island," said the aide. "That is fitting," said Frondizi...
