...this setting The Cannibal's story is told by Zizendorf, a neo-Nazi who plans to free Germany from Leevey, its American overlord. Zizendorf lives in a boarding house run by Madame Stella Snow, who symbolizes the eternal Germany of ruthless energy and strength. Among the other boarders are a hungry duke, a relic of the Kaiser-ruled past; a drunken census taker who personifies perennial German officialdom ready to serve any master; Herr Stintz, the typical "little man" whose futility is expressed in nocturnal tuba-playing, and Jutta, Zizendorf's cowlike mistress, who wants only the warmth...
Though government communiqués spoke darkly of their old bogey, the neo-fascist Movement of Nationalist Revolution, the President faced far more deep-seated and widespread opposition than the M.N.R. For over three months he had been trying without success to get other democratic parties to join with his own Republican Socialist Union Party in a coalition government to stave off economic disaster.

While police searched 64 public establishments and private homes (including those of two high-ranking army officers), Cattáneo gave them the slip in the middle of a downtown Buenos Aires traffic jam. At week's end he, too, apparently was safe in Montevideo...
Soon after he disappeared, Cattáneo presented to the Congress, by mail, support of his charges that Perón had grown rich in office. Listing the names and addresses of business firms which he said could confirm his statements, he described the President's San Vicente country estate (which Perón calls a modest rural retreat) as a lavishly decorated multimillion-peso layout with a large swimming pool, elaborate lighting and watering systems, sumptuous furnishings and marble fireplaces. Cattáneo's charges and his offer of proof made scarcely a ripple...
