...Last October, at his own pleading, Moncaster was released from prison, on condition that he assume a German name and go to work on a slave-labor project at Leuna, along with a group of German P.W.s.

...Cattaneo's general contention that Peronistas were getting rich in office, and he did not list his own present wealth-or his wife's. But in attacking Cattáneo and the newspapers, Perón left little doubt that his final aim was to smash the last two citadels of a free press in Argentina and rid himself of every last vestige of opposition...
