Tanks, in fact, were advancing past his window−just across Constitution Square from the beleaguered Moneda, the Presidential Palace−and raking the hotel's façade with gunfire; Chilean army fighter-bombers were streaking overhead.

Despite the peaceful façade of proletarian uniformity that it presents to impressed foreign visitors these days, China for years has been a divided and unsettled country.

The British have refurbished the magnificent church of the Madonna dell'Orto; the French fixed up the church of Santa Maria della Salute; the Americans, the façade of the Cà d'Oro.
