...embarks on her own big game safari, a post-presidential, pre-presidential journey, with Bill this time in the role of native bearer, or ornamental helpmate, or West Coast adjunct. And now there's a good chance she will have a Georgetown house that is as grandiose as the caravan that Teddy Roosevelt took into the bush. Have you noticed her radiance in recent photographs - something in her face you have not seen before? It is the radiance of arrival...

The current indictment concerns the question of whether Pinochet is responsible for the kidnapping and murder of some 70 people in the 'Caravan of Death' in 1973 [an episode in which senior military officers toured the country removing Pinochet opponents from prisons and summarily executing them].

The general is expected to be placed under house arrest shortly, and to go to court to answer charges arising out of the 1973 "caravan of death" - the series of incidents in which some 70 political detainees were abducted while in captivity in the weeks following Pinochet's seizure of power, and were never seen again. Pinochet faces 177 criminal complaints in his home country arising out of the kidnapping, torture and murder of more...
