...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 the President every week...
Looking for Leadership. In answer to all this, Illia remains placidly in his Casa Rosada office, seeing all who come to call, but issuing few orders.

Outside the door, a pair of knee-booted grenadiers of the palace guard stood, like life-sized toys, with ceremonial sabers bared. A stream of messengers came and went, bearing bulletins. Arturo Frondizi, 53, President of Argentina and currently his country's most unpopular man, was waiting to see whether he would be allowed to remain as elected Chief Executive of South America...
...over the fall of an elected government. Cynical corruption wrecked the middle-class Radicals' one chance in power (1916-30), and the disgusted army sent General Jose Uriburu, astride a white charger and backed by 10,000 troops, to take over the presidential residence, the Casa Rosada. The brass has never been out of politics since...
