...What was good for General Perón will be good for me. Neither at home nor abroad will the national line vary so much as a whit." Thus did Isabel Perón, 43, open her first formal Cabinet meeting in Government House last week, one week after the death of her husband and predecessor. To emphasize her plea of no change, she confirmed as her private secretary Conservative José López Rega, who had held the same position under her husband and is also Minister of Social Welfare. Moments later she reaffirmed...
...Isabel's actions were a characteristically Peronist performance. Compromise, giving a little here to get a little there, a dramatic personal appearance-these typified the style of Juan Perón. Judging by her first few days, the old leader had passed his ability on to the former cabaret dancer who is now Latin America's first female head of state...
Evita's successor as the President's wife, Isabel, 43 (see box page 75), acted as principal mourner?and as Vice President, she succeeded Perón in office.

...City Center gave a good production--we especially liked David Schramm, who played the deputy Angelo, a man purported so cold his urine is "congealed ice," but who is kept warm by his desire for Isabel. As a sort of stupid, bemedalled shopkeeper, Angelo is too unimaginative to notice his own humanity until it firms up and pricks him, like reality pricking through a sentimental ideal. Like Gay, Shakespeare could sometimes take pleasure in this sort of moment. Chekhov was kinder, and accepted things more quietly--but none of the three playwrights questioned that reality will surface, every time...
