Razor-Thin Profits. The terrorists' increasingly flagrant acts have finally spurred aging President Juan Peron, 78, to action. And well they should. One high American executive estimated that the kidnapings have already caused 60% of the foreign businessman in Argentina to leave the country in the past year. If the abductions continue, they could jeopardize an economy already deeply troubled by razor-thin profits and lack of capital investment by private industry. Prodded by such concerns, Peron reversed his benign neglect of Argentina's frightened foreigners and made a point of receiving the Ford vice president for Asia...
Doubts remained whether Peron could bring the terrorists under control. During the turbulent years of his exile, guerrilla groups on both the left and right were formed as underground cells to advance their militant causes. Most of these cells fought for Peron's return, but now that the old man is back in the saddle, they have refused to disband. Instead, they have taken to kidnaping businessmen as a means of financing their operations. And Peronists have increasingly turned on each other. A left-wing Peronist lawyer and his wife were recently murdered in Buenos Aires, presumably by rightists...
...Marighela is dead, the Tupamaros are dispersed, and the Chilean people have not yet swung into action, although the Pinochet dictatorship says it expects urban outbreaks.

Industrialism did not cause revolutionary resistance to disappear, but neither has that resistance gained anything resembling political victory. The successes of urban guerrilla warfare have been almost exclusively informational: The kidnappings and the robberies have shown that U.S. repression in South America...
DAVID BEN-GURION was one of the last of the seemingly larger-than-life national leaders who emerged in the 1930s and 40s. A few of these men--China's Mao, Argentina's Peron, Yugoslavia's Tito--are still at the helm, but almost all of them have been replaced by people like Leonid Brezhnev and President Nixon, uninspiring but still dangerously powerful...
...Socialist revolutionaries in Vietnam and Ba, for example, have fought for national self' determination, but they have viewed their struggles as only one arena in a world-wide struggle. Authoritarian nationalism, on the other hand, if it looks beyond its own borders at all, looks for territorial gain. Juan Peron in Argentian and Gamal Nassar in Egypt may oppose American and European domination over their nations, but they oppose it in the name of Argentina or Egypt and not in the name of international brotherhood. Authoritarian nationalist regimes, lacking a coherent view of the world and their tnterdependent place...
