...force and navy dropped out of political decision making two weeks ago to protest the army's refusal to appoint a civilian as President. In a deliberate snub, Navy Admiral Jorge Isaac Anaya arrived at Bignone's inauguration only at the last minute. Air Force Chief Basilio Lami Dozo boycotted the ceremony altogether. Nonetheless, the army's enormous edge in manpower (130,000 troops) over the navy (36,000) and the air force (19,500) is likely to ensure Nicolaides' supreme role...
...support in the wake of Argentina's April 2 invasion of the Falklands. But there were some signs last week that the junta may be looking ahead to a time when it might have to loosen its control on the government to stay in power. Brigadier General Basilio Lami Dozo, the commander of the air force and one of the three members of the junta, spoke vaguely of the need for the "participation by all sectors" in the government in the future. The junta, however, had not been talking with the leaders of Argentina's suspended political parties...
Changes in foreign policy seem certain as Argentina seeks what Lami Dozo calls "a new place in the world." However that evolves, Argentina will clearly continue to be hostile to the U.S., which before the war had been successfully wooing it as an ally in the fight against Communism in the Western Hemisphere.

On May 25, Galtieri and his fellow junta members, Admiral Jorge Isaac Anaya, 55, and Brigadier General Lami Dozo, 53, took part in a Mass and Te Deum in Buenos Aires' Metropolitan Cathedral that celebrated the 172nd anniversary of Argentina's equivalent of the Declaration of Independence. Said Galtieri afterward: "At this time of patriotism, the sons of our land from the army, navy and air force will be singing the national anthem, even in their trenches." Galtieri publicly rebuffed a conciliatory letter from President...
Argentina reacted to the challenge with skill and daring. Brigadier General Lami Dozo ordered as many as 72 warplanes at a time into the air, everything from Pucará attack planes to Mirage III and Dagger fighter-bombers and A-4 Skyhawk bombers. The aircraft swooped down on the San Carlos inlet from the west and from the south, their pilots showing little regard for safety as they tried to get at the fleet. In groups of up to three at a time, they raced the full length of the San Carlos anchorage on their low-level attacks. At times they...
