Last week, in a warning aimed at him, the leader of the radical leftist Montoneros (bush fighters), Mario Firmenich, condemned "adventurists and unscrupulous persons" who might make plans to take power in "the political vacuum left by General Perón's absence...

He labored in a solitude, a vacuum of response, which might have crushed another artist. But it may be that Dadd's enforced seclusion helped sharpen the obsessive quality of his inner vision.
