...waiting room at Panama's Tocumen Airport, ex-Strongman Juan Perón affably thanked the Panamanian government for "eight good months" and sent his warmest regards to "the humble and suffering, and all the workers" of Panama. Upstairs, the former Argentine dictator's shapely secretary, Dancer Isabel Martínez, stopped sipping a Coke long enough to pose for photographers and describe her boss as "an extraordinary man in all respects."
