...usual in Argentina, it was the possibility of a military coup. Dissatisfied with Illia's laissez-faire philosophy of government, and particularly alarmed at the prospect of a Peronist victory in the gubernatorial elections next March, the army had just handed Illia a warning to get a move on-or else. So into the Casa Rosada last week filed his eight ministers, ten ministerial-rank Secretaries of State and Vice President Carlos Humberto Perette. When they filed out again, they promised the army that action would be taken. From now on, the Cabinet decided, it would meet with...
...Strong medicine has not cured all that ails SIAM. It must still import such simple parts as windshield wipers (paying 250% duty) because the local product is so shoddy. Last year a Peronist-oriented union, pushing for wage increases, led a slowdown that temporarily reduced automobile output from 36 cars to four cars a day.

It was roughly the same plan that toppled Peron in 1955-Fatal Flaw. But the plan had a paradoxical flaw: too many other officers outside...
...complaints about Perón's behavior. Perón himself was silent on why he was moving, but one reason was probably his peeve at being asked to leave Panama during the conference of American Presidents. He might also desire to close ranks with the colony of Peronist exiles in Venezuela, some of them doing well in the booming horse-racing business. As Perón landed in Caracas, he was cheered by some 100 of these supporters with a fervor reminiscent of his old days in power. First to step up and embrace the fading strongman: General...
