Wait & See. Across Argentina, only the most muted protest rose over this bald assumption of power by the generals. A few small crowds gathered to shout "Viva Frondizi"-and were quickly dispersed by military tear gas. Most of the provincial governors, Intransigent Radicals themselves, called for Frondizi's restoration. The Perónistas, whose fanatical partisans smeared Buenos Aires with painted slogans (but got no financial help from Perón, who kept his millions to himself) during the election campaign, stayed safely at home...
Even the fine-wine producers will admit that some of the cheap table wines are sound value for their price. Gallo's Paisano, for example, is a passable vin ordinaire, even by French standards, and so is Petri's Viva Vino.

Ramfis Trujillo Jr. Mobs of students swarmed off the university campus in Ciudad Trujillo, smashing statues of the dead tyrant and shouting "Viva la revolución!" One rampaging band of 400 students and sympathizers proclaimed a four-block stretch of downtown Ciudad Trujillo as "free territory." defended it with rocks and cast iron water-meter covers until 100 police drove them out with tear gas and Tommy-gun bursts.

Died. Leo Carrillo, 81, lighthearted Latin badman of Viva Villa, The Gay Desperado and a score of other Hollywood mellers, the land-rich scion of a long line of California Spanish dons (including an early Governor) who became an actor by choice, not necessity, was credited with persuading Fellow Vaudevillian Will Rogers to spice his previously silent lasso routine with Oklahoma patter; of cancer; in Santa Monica, Calif...
