The nomination of the 42-year-old former cabaret dancer, bolstered by a publicity campaign extolling her virtues, struck some as a crass attempt by Perón to cast her in the image of his late second wife, the mass-adulated Evita...

In the foreground a man accused of seducing a teen-age girl while he was President of the country has just re-entered it as a saint. Perón is flanked on one side by his third wife, Isabelita, 42, once a nightclub performer in Panama. On the other side of el Lider is Lopecito-Jose Lopez Rega-a former army corporal who was elevated to Minister of Social Welfare because of his skill in reading the stars, having selected the days...
