...person already suspected of trying to become the power behind the throne is Minister of Social Welfare Jos?? López Rega, 54, who was Perón's private secretary and astrologer in exile. López Rega stood prominently behind Isabelita each time she addressed the nation on television last week, and except for her, he was the only Cabinet member to make a TV speech after Perón's death. Radical leftist Peronists despise the ultra-conservative López Rega and have threatened to assassinate him. Last week, in a warning aimed at him, the leader of the radical leftist...
...problems and intrigues become too intense, Isabelita Perón may exercise her constitutional privilege of stepping down. In that case, Senate President Jos?? Antonio Allende (a member of the Popular Christian Party and no kin to Chile's Salvador Allende) would become interim President of the republic until new elections were held.

The book is sympathetically leftist, and somewhat candid about priests' sexual frustrations, but what piqued Arrupe was Diez-Alegria's refusal to submit to Jesuit censorship before publication.

Poor sportsmanship? Enraged over losing a game to Steinitz, British Master Joseph Blackburne reportedly threw the eminent mathematician out of a window. World Champion Jos?? Capablanca (1921-27), the dashing Cuban roue, was a notoriously bad loser; before he would admit defeat in one match in Havana, he demanded that the mayor clear the room of all spectators. After taking the title from Capablanca, Alekhine refused...
...cannot wait for natural selection to change him, some scientists warn, because the process is much too slow. Yale Physiologist Jos?? Delgado likens the human animal to the dinosaur: insufficiently intelligent to adapt to his changing environment. Caltech Biophysicist Robert Sinsheimer calls men "victims of emotional anachronisms, of internal drives essential to survival in a primitive past, but undesirable in a civilized state." Thus, by his own efforts, man must sharpen his intellect and curb his aboriginal urges, especially his aggressiveness...
