Died. Augusto Vandor ("El Lobo"), 46, wily boss of Argentina's huge Metallurgical Workers Union, majority spokesman for the national labor movement (CGT) and chief advocate of neo-Peronism (a Peronist system that would not require the return of the ex-dictator); by assassination at the hands of five gunmen in Buenos Aires...

With the philosophy of a patriot who feels that Argentina has only one way to go, Clutterbuck says: "My country is at the bottom of the hill. Now we start to climb the other...
