...interview at the former dictator's modest suite in the U.S.-owned Hotel Washington in Colón, Panama. The marked men: Argentine navy and air force officers; such big industrialists as the Bembergs (beer) and Raúl Lamuraglia (textiles); La Prensa Publisher Alberto Gainza Paz and that paper's longtime news service, the United Press; the rulers of Uruguay, where Perón's exiles plotted; and the Roman Catholic clergy...
...gloomy halls of La Paz's Foreign Ministry, crammed with ornate furnishings of so many periods that it calls to mind an auction house, a hundred men and women gathered one morning last week to shake hands with Foreign Minister Walter Guevara. After almost four years of energetic service, Guevara, a longtime sociology professor and an outspoken friend of the U.S., was being forced out.

Soon after Gainza Paz ended almost five years of exile (TIME, Dec. 12), the paper stopped publishing until the Argentine government could complete the technicalities of restoring it to Gainza Paz. After last week's ceremony, the publisher began going to his old office daily to reassemble his staff and tackle production problems. He planned to devote Page One to news instead of the traditional London Times-like classified ads, considered making body type larger and writing more concise. But before he could...
