Spain's General Francisco Franco allowed Argentina's General Juan Domingo Peron to settle in Madrid five years ago with only one condition: the ousted South American strongman was not to engage in politics. Peron plunged forthwith into a career of remote-control intrigue that reached a ludicrous anticlimax this month when a long-heralded attempt to return home ended in his being sent back to Spain from Rio. Last week Franco decreed that the Argentine would either have to sign a pledge within 30 days forswearing political activity or leave Spain...

Though reluctant to abandon his opulent villa near Madrid, Peron is expected to leave Spain as a matter of pride. Where will he go? Peronistas have suggested Switzerland, where he stashed some of his looted millions. Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser, Algeria's Ben Bella, and Tunisia's Habib Bourguiba have sent him invitations, and Castro is cooing...

...Peron's clutch of cronies, they were ordered to clear out of Spain pronto. Four of them did and ran smack into yet another fiasco at New York's Kennedy Airport, where they were promptly bucked back to Madrid because they lacked proper visas.

They represent a different breed than the medal-jangling "strongman" epitomized by Argentina's exiled Juan Peron and Venezuela's imprisoned Perez Jimenez. Today's soldiers are deeply disturbed about Castroism, disgusted by graft, inefficiency and thoughtless political warfare. Right or wrong, they claim to have seized power to prevent chaos. In most cases, they seem content to return to constitutional government after imposing at least...

...Tune & "Tourists." Until a few months ago, such talk was laughed off by most Argentines. Fewer are laughing now. An intelligence evaluation prepared for the Argentine army high command concedes: "The return of Perón does not appear an impossibility." Under pressure from more moderate advisers, Peron has changed his tune, no longer rants about ruling as a strongman, but says rather that his role would be to unite the country's warring factions. The inability of President Arturo Illia's weak-willed regime to cope with the country's deepening economic problems makes many Argentines...
