The Bomarzo Affair: así llama el embajador norteamericano, en sus despachos confidenciales, al escándalo desatado en julio de 1967 por la exclusión de la ópera de Alberto Ginastera y Manuel Mujica Lainez, del repertorio del Teatro Colon. En la historia del duque jorobado, ambientada en el Renacimiento italiano, y estrenada poco antes en Washington con apoyo oficial, el gobierno del general Ongania ha descubierto una referencia obsesiva al sexo, la violencia y la alucinacion, y el arzobispo de Buenos Aires, cardenal Caggiano, una vision horrenda de abyecciones morales que no quiero nombrar.

Es tambien un mapa ideologico e intelectual del Estado, la opinion publica, la prensa y la Intelligentsia argentina de la decada del sesenta, que en muchos casos aun pervive en los pliegues y repliegues del poder.
