Tears seem to be the hallmark of Isabel Perón's troubled presidency. Fourteen months ago, she led Argentina in an emotional period of mourning for her husband and political mentor, Juan Domingo Perón. More recently, her publicly shed tears have become both a sign of her own increasingly fragile physical and emotional condition and an apt acknowledgment of the problems that her erratic rule has brought to her country. A week ago, when she handed over temporary executive power to Italo Luder, Provisional President of the Argentine Senate, she was choking back tears once again...
Long Walks. The next day a worn, anemically thin Isabel Perón, 44, boarded a plane and was flown to an air force recreation camp in the hills of Córdoba province 560 miles northwest of Buenos Aires. She was accompanied by the wives of the three armed forces commanders, whose evident role was to demonstrate that she still had the support of the military establishment.

The rather quiet routine was enlivened briefly...
...Chileans killed in Latin America and Europe during a power struggle among leftist guerrillas. It was published in an obscure Buenos Aires weekly called Lea. In the same issue, the only one ever published, were editorial attacks against several Argentines who had recently incurred the displeasure of either President Isabel Perón or her hated adviser, former Social Welfare Minister José López Rega. A check of the address given on Lea's title page revealed no building; near by, however, was a publishing house operated by the Argentine Ministry of Social Welfare...
