...while, the Dürers will remain in a Manhattan bank vault, where they have been locked away from the skirmishes of the past 15 years. If Eliçofon, a Latvian-born Jew who grew up in a New York tenement, wins his appeal, he plans to sell the Dürers and donate some of the proceeds to Jewish charities. Says he: "It would be a minute reparation for the wrongs done to the Jews by the Germans...

That placed him dangerously close to the center of events as Argentina imploded in the late '60s and early '70s, during the second coming of Juan Domingo Peron. The country's civil identity virtually disappeared, with "Peronists assassinating Peronists, the military assassinating the military, union members assassinating union members, students other students, policemen other policemen."
