Bormann, who is 72 if he is alive, was depicted as being frequently on the move, sometimes out of fear and sometimes simply on business trips, but always accompanied by his chauffeur-bodyguard, "a German-speaking Chilean of Irish descent," Jorge O'Higgins. Bormann wears plastic gloves, said Farago, so that his fingerprints can never be taken, and had a mistress in Santiago who bore him four children. As of a few weeks ago, Farago contended, Bormann was back in Argentina, in Salta province, living in "a cottage on the Rancho Grande, the vast estate of Arndt von Bohlen...
According to Farago, Velasco had been tracking Bormann for nine years; he was called to Mendoza, near the Chilean border, by an immigration inspector who became suspicious of a man carrying a passport in the name of Ricardo Bauer.

The court battle could hardly have come at a worse time for Chile, which gets about 70% of its foreign currency from copper sales. The country is already boiling with political and social unrest, and teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. Obviously, Kennecott's offensive is likely...
...General Counsel Pierce McCreary, who is directing the campaign, has the air of a war room. His desk is strewn with shipping reports, and on one wall hangs a large map for plotting ships' courses. From here, McCreary keeps a close watch on vessels entering or leaving the Chilean port of San Antonio, the only place from which El Teniente copper is shipped. At present he is monitoring the movements of at least six ships headed for Europe, loaded with El Teniente metal; when they arrive he wants his agents to be there to greet them with court orders...
