The President rewarded him by making him the official candidate for the governorship; the self-effacing onetime sergeant won without a single campaign speech...
...found that Argentine textbooks were shot through with excerpts from the works of Benjamin Franklin, Walt Whitman, Mark Twain, Browning, Grimm, Schiller and Turgenev-all subversive influences, in the Peronista view. "A repulsive state of affairs," declared the governor. He named a committee to scourge the foreign authors from the schoolbooks.
