...when Juan Peron gained control of the Ministry of War, the Department of Labor, and the vice-presidency of Argentina, there were a few gutsy intellectuals who denounced him as a power-hungry Fascist...
Jose Luis Romero counted himself among this group and, the following year, when Peron was properly elected to the Pink House, Romero had to flee the country and seek asylum in Montivideo. Romero had ten years to reconsider his initial impression of Peron, and only after the jefe unico had been ousted by the Argentine Navy could he return to his country...

In Jujuy (pronounced who-hooey), Peron's descamisados (shirtless ones) have always been especially strong; nationally, Peronistas have generally claimed from a fourth to a third of the ballots since the strongman was deposed ten years ago. Only the strong hand of the military, which threw him out in the name of constitutional government, keeps...
