...together of good friends. Evita brought a new portrait down from the second floor to show her guests. Perón gave his friend Don Jaime a hand-tooled Belgian automatic shotgun, just the gift for an ambassador whose favorite Argentine sport has been weekend partridge shooting (in the Gaucho getup given him by Defense Minister Humberto Sosa Molina...
...streamed up to the mud-floored ranch house to tell him their troubles, ask him for money and advice. An army major flew in to buy 350 steers for his garrison, and Lohman ordered a couple of Indians to ride north with them on the trail. A mud-spattered Gaucho galloped up with a report from a 100,000-acre pasture 35 miles away. The boss put down his gourd of mate, pulled out a notebook and wrote: "1,250 calves branded this week."

Peron's "battle of the 60 days" had already frozen or reduced prices of four chief food staples: bread, sunflower-seed oil, sugar, spaghetti. Few realized, or perhaps cared, that the gaucho who looked like St. George was really more of a Hjalmar Schacht. In good Nazi tradition, the export market was subsidizing the domestic.
