Typed in black ink on applied label, verso BC: (Peru) 7/62 28) WINNER LOSES: APRA's leader Haya de la Torre was clearly \ dismayed when he learned that his election lead was so slim as to make a \ crisis inevitable. This week the Army generals, his longtime implacable \ foes, forced the foxy old leftist into hiding - a situation he knows well \ after 35 years of Peruvian politics, inscluding more than five years when \ he was forced to take refuge in the Colombian Embassy in Lima. \ Credit: ANDREW ST.
