...lost purchasing power. Businessmen are clamoring for similar price relief. The trials next year of the 300 lower-ranking officers accused of crimes in the dirty war--and a separate trial, now under way, of Galtieri and two other junta members for mismanaging the Falklands war--will stir up more debate over who bears the ultimate responsibility for the ghosts of the past.
