The World - News from Jan. 14, 1986
About 2,000 leftists protesting a visit by David Rockefeller burned a U.S. flag and set fire to a car in Buenos Aires before they were dispersed by police. There were no reports of injuries. Leftist parties had called for the demonstration, charging that Rockefeller, now retired as Chase Manhattan Bank chairman, had maintained friendly relations with the military juntas that ruled Argentina from 1976 to 1983. Rockefeller also was accused of representing banking interests that contributed to Argentina’s huge foreign debt.
