...financial adviser, and Delia Parodi, a Peronista spitfire from Buenos Aires; the guard waved them briskly through the gate. Then, out of sight a few miles up the road, Jorge Antonio stopped the car and bustied around to the trunk. And who popped out? Of course. Even with a hat tugged over his eyebrows and a vicuña scarf pulled up tightly around his chin, the sportily dressed figure who took his place in the back seat was unmistakably Juan Perón, now 69. Secrecy and surprise were his watchwords-and his only hopes of success. When...
...Service Corps' costs at the start are being underwritten by the Agency for International Development; after hat, they will be subsidized by U.S.companies. As a catalyzer, 52 executives have been named to the corps' board, and Chase Manhattan's David Rockefeller-one of the original proponents of the idea-has been elected chairman to succeed the late C.

Then the camera descended to bare thighs and legs furiously pumping a bicycle. Eh bien! Nappy was in a closely contested race, panting beside Marshals Ney, Murat and Massena. The Duke of Wellington was gaining fast amid cries that "The Englishman is right on our rear ends!" Worse, Nappy's teammates refused to help when his front tire went pffft. "If I win at. Waterloo, I'll give you a big share of the prize money," whined...
Marriage Album. Everything had the power to stir Picasso's imagination. He kept owls, pigeons, even a smelly he-goat around the house. He loved to blow loudly on an old French army bugle. He was superstitious to a degree unsuspected in such an undisciplined liberal thinker. A hat thrown on a bed (meaning that someone in the house was going to die before the year was over) could throw him into a tantrum. Dancing was total depravity to Picasso, who was otherwise unbothered by convention...
