Nearly a year after his overthrow, Frondizi, noticeably heavier and his hair gone white, was still technically under arrest. But times-and his fortunes-have changed. Frondizi's first stop was a comfortable, Swiss-style chalet overlooking a lake 13 miles outside of Bariloche. But when he complained that it was too remote from his friends, the government obligingly moved him to a hotel nearer town.

There, in the course of a trial that has dragged on for four months, the leader of the opposition, Obafemi Awolowo, last week opened his own defense against a government indictment charging him and 24 other leading politicians with conspiracy to overthrow the government. Nearly all the defendants are members of Awolowo's Action Group, the party that rules Western Nigeria and represents it in the federal Parliament. Chief Awolowo is not alone in branding the trial a political play to wreck his party and eliminate the opposition...
