Editing Omar Torrijos (section)

== Personal life ==
Omar Torrijos has been generally regarded as a personable man though varying accounts appear contradictory. He married Raquel Pauzner in 1954 and had three children. Having spent most of his time with [[Peasant|campesino]]s during the weekends, he had little time to spare for his children. He had three primary residences: a beach house at Farallón, a house at Coclesito, and a house on Fiftieth Street in Panama City, the last of which his family lived a few blocks from. According to first-hand accounts by Torrijos's friend and guest, [[Graham Greene]], Torrijos had a mistress who was studying sociology in the U.S.<ref name="General">{{cite book |title= Getting to Know the General.|last=Greene|first=Graham |year=1984 |publisher= The Bodley Head Ltd |location=London |isbn=0-370-30808-5}}</ref>
