Peenemünde South. Huntsville, Ala., headquarters of Dr. Wernher von Braun...
Perhaps realizing that his own past ill suited him to unite Peru, Haya offered to negotiate for a coalition government with the man who finished second, Fernando Belaúnde. Instead, Belaúnde cried that Haya had been elected by fraud-an accusation investigated and rejected by Prado's respected Electoral Tribunal. So Haya agreed to give his support to the third candidate, Manuel Odria, an ex-general who had ruled Peru as a dictator from...
Fernando Belaúnde has been crying fraud ever since he finished 14,000 votes behind the controversial Haya de la Torre. Knowing that powerful army leaders fear Haya from his earlier days as a flaming leftist, he counted on the army to rally behind him. He journeyed from the capital of Lima to the mountain city of Arequipa, and after instructing a crowd of 6,000 supporters to raise barricades around his campaign headquarters he demanded the appointment of a "tribunal of honor" to revise the election results- otherwise he would fight.

Tirelessly stumping Peru's 144 provinces, he preaches much the same economic and social reform as does APRA, draws huge crowds from all those who hate and fear APRA. His opinions about the rabid left hardened abruptly a fortnight...
