...Cabinet quit forthwith. Peronist congressmen likewise agitated for Cámpora's ouster, as did moderate party members within the Justicialist movement.

They denounced the "right-wing coup" and briefly occupied three colleges at Buenos Aires University...

The Senate Select Committee hearings are not, after all, Perry Mason redivivus, complete with dueling attorneys, surprise witnesses and sudden breakdowns. They are, instead, a series of civics lessons, a priceless course in government. With their strong undertow of show business, they are also...
Whitlock fears that the large number of returnees may signal a reversal of the trend toward leave-taking, a trend which began during the upheavals of the late sixties. "There can always be a fluke, students can always stop taking leave," he said. The number of students on leave jumped from 372 to 437 last year while the volume of returning students increased 52 to 418. Both of these statistics cover an entire year...
