...Plate 30 miles north of the capital, a military transport buzzed aloft carrying ousted President Arturo Frondizi, his daughter, his private secretary and 2½ tons of Frondizi's belongings, mostly books. A few hours later Frondizi alighted at San Carlos de Bariloche, a summer fishing and winter ski resort in the Argentine Andes, 850 miles southwest of Buenos Aires...
...limeness is just beginning. The distinctive feature of this style is Style. Girls who adopt it are sometimes thought of as the Radcliffe stereotype, and probably give wholesome Harvard freshmen from Iowa their first proof that the East is indeed strange looking. Greek shoulderbags are extremely popular, as are ski jackets, black tights, pierced ears, half high heels, long unpolished fingernails, rain ponchos, "Marimekko" dresses, primitive jewlry, and long hair. The most well-dressed of them imitate a European sort of gray-beige, expensive simplicity; the sloppy ones wear ski polo shirts and dungarees and can be called (to their...

To some, a year-round retreat there is worth even more...
...away for less ($3,000 for the season), but find themselves dissatisfied. Said one American matron last week, "I just rented a chalet for the season this time, but next year I'm going to take it all year. It's such trouble having to store my ski clothes." In addition to the fulltime chalet dwellers (most of whom maintain at least one other home base, ranging in location and social prestige from the Riviera to Florida), Gstaad harbors a large class of doting parents who, having shipped off their children to nearby prep schools such...
