...most pragmatic politician-statesman is Argentine President Arturo Frondizi, a man whose goals, once set, stay set. Characteristically, the goals Frondizi set for his journey to the U.S. and the U.N. last week were rigid-but realistic. He was determined to convince highly placed North Americans of his unwavering commitment to Western democracy, and he aimed to convince them that his kind of Argentina is worth helping.

With similar business on his mind, Argentina's President Arturo Frondizi arrives in the U.S. this week. The avowed purpose for his journey is a speech before the U.N. General Assembly. But the success of the trip hangs most heavily on the crucial hours that the crisis-ridden Argentine President is scheduled to spend in informal conversation with Kennedy in New York City. Frondizi believes that the Alliance for Progress should focus on nations already on the road to economic maturity (i.e., Argentina) as an object lesson for less fortunate nations. Cost of the focus on Argentina...
...week's end, the brass was still rumbling noisily. And Frondizi's Foreign Minister Adolfo Múgica. who originally leaked the news of the Frondizi-Guevara téte a téte, was asked to resign...
