They gathered in an impoverished town with the unlikely name of William Morris* to lay a wreath near the spot where two Peronist guerrillas were killed by police two years ago. Police attempts to break up the demonstration touched off a five-hour battle.

Evidently the regime has taken a second look at the advice offered by former President Pedro Aramburu before he was kidnaped and killed by Peronist guerrillas in 1970.
