Battle on the Pampas. Deep in the heart of the pampas, insurgent army units led by Brigadier General Dalmiro Felix Videla Balaguer-until recently a well-regarded Peronista-swept into the rail center of Córdoba, Argentina's third biggest city (pop. 350,000). Two Gloster Meteor jet fighters flown by air-force pilots rained down leaflets declaring that the city "has been conquered again for God and the fatherland."

President Ruiz Cortines embraced the troubador, 53 this week, and said: "Work for Mexico, Agustin." Lara went from Mexico City to Veracruz and then on to Córdoba, traveling along whole blocks of flower-covered streets lined with schoolchildren while factory whistles blew and bells tolled. Last week, overflowing with Mexico's adulation, he pursued his lovelorn triumphal path to Havana...
