Though she is an object of genuine affection, Mrs. Perón is a long way from proving her capacity to lead, or even to survive. Reports TIME'S Buenos Aires Bureau Chief Rudolf Rauch: "The inherited style of leadership passed on by Perón may be enough now when the nation, blind with veneration for her husband and bewildered by the sudden turn of events, is solidly behind her; but many I people here doubt that it will be enough when things go badly...
...business. All were afflicted with the magician's disease: ancestor worship. Gone was the golden age, they sighed. Television had consumed their best acts; film had taken the magic out of life. They spoke in the jargon of the trade: there were no tricks, only "effects"; a disappearing object was a "vanish"; a suddenly appearing object was a "production"; a nimble-handed move was a "sleight." The masters of all these effects and sleights had vanished. Houdini, who could get out of a steel coffin, could not escape from his wooden one; Cardini, who commanded the attention...
...fine: funny, sad, and as accurate a portrayal of student life as you're likely to see on the stage. The play is about the people Weller shared a house with during his senior year at Brandeis.

And it was again she?dressed in black unadorned with jewelry?who symbolized Argentina's sorrow. The icy smile, the tightly pulled-back hair dyed dark blonde and the slightly strident voice of Maria Estela ("Isabelita") Martinez de Perón, 43, last week dominated the thoughts of Argentines nearly as much...
...University and led by Gomes, are regularly empty during worship; or that an instructor can't arouse peals of sympathetic laughter by using the phrase. In listening to hundreds of lectures in over 40 courses this year, I found that only the subject of death rivals religion as an object of student laughter--always in response to the lecturer's deliberate nuances, of course. Very few instructors, if any, take any pains to dispel the dangerous myth, very widespread in radical circles and among students in general, that because those who profess venerable systems do so hypocritically, the values themselves...
