...lists are not the only sign of collusion between DINA and sympathizers outside the country. Last month two mangled, bullet-ridden bodies were found in a burnt-out car in the Argentine town of Pilar, some 25 miles northwest of Buenos Aires. Miraculously un-charred, however, were documents that enabled the Argentine police to identify the corpses as those of two Chilean students-Jaime Robotham Bravo, 24, and Luis Guendelman Wisniak, 26, neither of them very active politically. Also conveniently intact was a placard attached to the bodies that said the students had been "executed by the MIR," the Chilean...
...past, responsibility for burnt, bullet-ridden corpses like those found near Buenos Aires has been claimed by the Argentine Anti-Communist Alliance, a right-wing terrorist group publicly linked to José López Rega. A working relationship would well serve the mutual interests of DINA and the A. A. A. DINA has a long list of names for which it needs bodies and the A.A.A. has bodies for which it needs names. DINA, it is thought, was particularly interested in whittling down its long list of missing persons before the arrival of a delegation from the U.N. Human...
...ranch, about 250 miles northeast of Vancouver. Guy Rose, owner of the ranch and grandson of its founder, never advertises his off-offbeat hotel, "so we don't get a bunch of people here we wouldn't like." The lakefront hotel was built in 1908, has a bullet-riddled bar, brass bedsteads in the huge rooms and a splendid view of the valley from all windows. It serves guests the same hearty meals the chef cooks for the ranch hands; dinner is only $3.50. There are plentiful campsites near the lake; campers can fish, hike or trail-ride...
Quality varies widely. One of the best-regarded juku, Tokyo's Nippon Shingaku Kyoshitsu (Japanese Entrance Examination School), is so popular that children commute to its Sunday sessions from distant areas by jet plane and bullet train. Some 2,600 pupils -all sixth-graders propping for the junior high entrance exam-attend the school. A typical class starts at 8:30 a.m. and continues for 50 minutes with the teacher asking questions and 100 pupils chanting back the answers. ("When did the Russo-Japanese war break out?" "When was the League of Nations formed?") Recently, a visitor asked...
Writer-Director Richard Brooks made a western called The Professionals in 1966, a hearty, amusing enterprise full of pulp-magazine notions about honor under pressure. Bite the Bullet is made in blatant-indeed, often desperate -imitation of The Professionals, and the character Hackman plays is a virtual reincarnation of Robert Ryan's softspoken, steel-fisted horseman of the previous film. Instead of forming a ragtag commando unit, though, the heroes now make up a party of racers, heading over 700 miles of rugged territory for $2,000 in prize money...
