...vast patio of Buenos Aires' Institute Bernasconi, white-smocked high-school kids lined up in ranks. In 14,300 other public schools across the country, students and teachers snapped to attention before their radios. It was the opening of the school year.

The pro-Perón La Época, charging that the prize had been "granted with political ends," went to town with a caricature of Dr. Houssay and an attack on the originality and value of his studies of the pituitary gland. "This gland detective," it said, should have been doing something useful like tackling tuberculosis and syphilis. Physiologist Houssay did not reply.
