...almost a decade, 3,000,000 of Argentina's 21 million people have lived outside the country's normal political life. They are the Peronistas, long loyal to ex-Dictator Juan Domingo Peron, 69, and his promise to return to Argentina leading another revolution. Last week 17 Peronista leaders were back in Buenos Aires after a five-day conference with El Lider in Madrid. As always, Peron vowed to return. But not as a revolutionary this time. The aging strongman now sees himself as conciliator, who would stay only long enough-possibly two or three months-to help...

...sound of Peronismo is quite a switch from the shrill cries that have emanated from Madrid since Peron was toppled in 1955. The man behind it is not so much Peron himself as Augusto Timoteo Vandor, 43, El Lider's new top lieutenant in Argentina. A onetime navy mechanic, Vandor drifted into the powerful, 275,000-member Metallurgical Workers Union in the early 1950s, quietly made his way up through the union hierarchy, and was soon reaching for control of the entire Peronista movement. His chief opponent was Andres Framini, 50, head of the 100,000 member Textile Workers...

Wolf at the Door. Framini and Vandor are a study in contrasts. Framini, the stolid embodiment of the old Peronismo, is boastful, loudly emotional, disorganized; his course is "revolution" and an "open fight." Vandor is more flexible-and smart enough to know that Peron could never rule Argentina as dictator again. He believes in "Peronismo without Peron," talks "negotiation" and "legalismo...

...Army. Now Vandor wants the Illia government to give back the full political rights denied Peronistas since Peron's fall: the right to organize legally as a political party and run for all offices up to and including the presidency. (Peronistas have had the right to vote, but always under one restraint or another.) In return Vandor promises a responsible, cooperative movement that will support the Illia government for the good of Argentina. Vandor feels that with a well-organized labor movement behind the party, the Peronistas could end up with at least 35 congressional seats after next year...

...businessman puts it another way. "This place is in no sense the old-style jack-booted dictatorship. I've worked in Venezuela during the time of Perez Jimenez, in the Dominican Republic under Trujillo, in Argentina under Peron. There is no atmosphere of tension and fear. The idea is order, to build something." That is how Stroessner sees himself-as Paraguay's builder. His term expires in 1968, and constitutionally he is barred from running again. But in Stroessner's Paraguay, the builder can always reconstruct a constitution...
