...Supreme Court to be sworn in as President. Poggi, who had been drafting a decree naming himself President, hastened to cross-examine Guido until he was convinced that the new President would not stand in the way of a drive to annul the elections that the Perónistas won, smash Perónista trade unions, and suppress Perónism completely...
...other reforms were only partially successful. The quickening economic pace caused a sharply increased demand for industrial machinery; in the past two years, imports climbed from $990 million a year to $1.45 billion. Agriculture, which accounts for 80% of Argentine exports was still stuck fast in Per&243;nista depression.

...military seemed in no hurry to; nor did the populace. As the Per&243;nista 24-hour "general strike" went on without incident or bloodshed, about 75% of all workers showed up at the factory and nearly all at their offices. Argentines seem to share a common letdown feeling that a promising convalescence from dictator ship had been harshly interrupted. But there was also a feeling, among contentious and proud rivals, that a nation's continuity must be preserved, and that this took precedence over individual ambitions and disagreements.
