This appears in a newspaper article about the attorney César Almeyda Tasayco:

"Por primera vez en su breve y agitada trayectoria pública, el abogado César Almeyda Tasayco ha decidido, esta vez, protoganizarla--kamikaze--por voluntad propia. Adelantarse a los acontecimientos. Convertirse en eso que los gringos llman un 'news-maker'... Pero, ¿cuál es la causa de este súbito ***acceso de peliculina*** tan desconcertante en alguien que, como él, se preciaba de ser la versión moderna de la clásica figura del asesor en la sombra?"
