...moved to Santiago to attend the Teachers Institute and begin a career as a French professor. The academic career never flourished, but his poetry did. He and fellow poets in Santiago lived the lifestyle traditionally associated with their profession: dressed in black, they often went hungry and struggled to get their work published. It was at this time that Neruda wrote and was able to publish Twenty Poems of Love and an Ode on Desperation, a melancholy collection filled with torment and passion. Neruda would later refer to the poems as the expression of his love affair with Santiago...

The new President will probably also attend some of the first daily 8 a.m. staff meetings, to be presided over by White House Counsel Robert Lipshutz.

Few analysts thought Hua had completely lost his grip, but many China watchers viewed his nonappearance as further evidence of a raging power struggle. Hua would certainly prefer to see the premiership go to an ally or a subordinate with less ambition than Teng, like Vice Premier Li Hsien-nien.
