...this President Perón remembered last week as he strode through the heavily carpeted chambers of the Casa Rosada, chain-smoking strong "43" cigarets, trying to make up his mind. His decision was finally made between ballet numbers in Buenos Aires' rococo Teatro Colón. He dispatched quaking Interior Minister Angel Borlenghi to the block-square police headquarters in Calle Moreno to hand Velazco his ultimatum.

Well practiced in mind conditioning, the Government has given top paper priorities to books and newspapers, determines how many copies of each book are to be printed and where distributed. Reader demand by itself can no more create a best-seller in Russia than public tastes can alter the content of the food ration.
