Yet no one is free to be a scientist...
...crowd chanted "Perón! Perón! Perón!" Then some, apparently intoxicated by the familiar two-syllable rhythm, began to shout "Duce! Duce! Duce!" That brought counter-shouts of "Down with Franco! Down with Perón! Down with Fascism!" The abashed figure on the balcony heard it all; she was, Argentine officials said later, upset...
