...President Manuel Prado y Ugarteche, 69, told TIME Correspondent George de Carvalho in elegant French: "Be tranquil, mon cher. There will be no collapse." Quite possibly he was right. In a strange alliance, this dandified scion of the rich class that Peru calls "the oligarchs" has teamed up with Ramiro Prialé, 55, the revolutionary who bosses Latin America's greatest mass political movement, the Apra, to put Peruvian democracy on a working, paying basis...
