Married. Néelida ("Nelly") Rivas, 19, onetime (1954-55) teen-age doxy of Argentina's Dictator Juan Peroón; and Carlos Jose Ramil, 24, an accountant employed by the U.S. embassy; in Buenos Aires...
Hundreds of U.S. and European employees of the oil companies were herded protectively into company compounds, but it was hard to say what they were being protected from. "Mucha música pero poca ópera," said a grizzled engineer, quoting the old Nicaraguan proverb: Lots of noise but little action.

Caltex announced that, with government permission...
Fury Spent. From the barracks, the mob turned on foreign embassies in which members of the ousted dictator's administration had sought asylum.

In a country where more than 90% of the people are Catholics, no practical-minded dictator could do otherwise. But recently, Perón's press and unions began sniping at the clergy, and last week Juan Perón himself leaped in with a biting attack on several Catholic priests. Some Catholic organizations, he apparently feared, were forming an embryonic Christian Democratic Party to oppose...
