...Pinochet Ugarte, commander in chief of the army, telephoned an ultimatum to the palace. If Allende surrendered his office, he would be given safe-conduct out of the country; otherwise he would be deposed by force. Allende refused. "I will not resign," he declared in a very brief radio broadcast. "I am prepared to die if necessary." He urged workers−the most loyal and enthusiastic supporters of his socialist program−to seize their factories as a sign of defiance. As Hawker Hunters of the Chilean air force swooped low over the palace, Allende made a final appearance...

The show sells $55,000 worth of advertising a month, 85% of it national, and the majority is sold to truck lines that broadcast their willingness to lease, say, ten trucks from owner-operators. Some large truck stops have also bought time. The Mass 10 truck stop near Boston took a month's advertising and increased diesel fuel sales from 150,000 gal. monthly...
