...Juan Peron, Argentina's onetime strongman, has said repeatedly that he would return to his homeland "when the people tell me the bollo [roll] is ready for the oven." Apparently the bollo is now ready. In Buenos Aires, Peron's top aide, Hector Compara, announced that el Lider would arrive in Argentina on Nov. 17, thus ending 17 years of exile abroad, most of it spent in princely isolation in Madrid...
...Peron's trip has been carefully orchestrated to have the maximum impact. His Argentine supporters, who could deliver up to 40% of the popular vote, have already purchased a $70,000 house in the posh Buenos Aires suburb of Olivos for their old leader, who turned 77 last month. The house is only eight blocks from the presidential villa of Argentina's current strongman (and Peron's archfoe), Alejandro Lanusse. Peronistas have also chartered a DC-8 from Alitalia to fly their leader home. Aboard will be his third wife Isabelita, 41, several aides, household servants and numerous bodyguards...
Political silence. Intellectuals have a way of selling out the people politically as well as artistically. When Peron was overthrown by the "Gorilla" junta of the oligarchy, with 300 killed in the streets by aerial bombardment, "those who could write had nothing to say," Today in Argentina those nationalist intellectuals who have not lost touch with the masses (like Solanas and many of the guerrillas he interviews) are either exiled or underground...
...dilemma facing Argentina's rulers since the ouster of Dictator Juan Peron in 1955 is that the Peronists, who are chiefly urban workers, remain the most numerous political force in the country. Should Argentina return to entirely free elections soon, the Peronists could well win. Lanusse, who spent four years in prison in Patagonia for his role in an abortive coup against Peron in 1951, is not likely to welcome any return to the old Peronism. A more immediate concern for Argentina is whether the Pink House will once again exert its old magic and persuade Lanusse...
Finally, Huntington lists additional means whereby the U. S. can ensure the outcome it desires. Among these are support of populist non-communist leaders that undercut NLF support (Peron and Rojas Pinilla are cited as examples), U. S. control over national media, and the use of bribes and "perk-barrel" projects...
