Edward Schumacer, "MAN IN THE NEWS; MAN OF HOUR IN ARGENTINA", The New York Times (April 6, 1982)
“

Standing well over six-feet tall, broad-shouldered and ramrod straight, he is an imposing military figure. He is considered a "soldier's soldier" who can joke and swear with the best of them and has attracted great loyalty among his juniors.

But since taking power he has displayed a shrewdness that has surprised both friends and foes.
