Literacy Through Penance. A Marxist revolution can hardly represent the Christian ideal. Just as obviously, inertia is no answer to Catholicism's chal lenges today. A sensible middle way would see the church lending its weight to nonviolent reform-as Chilean Theo logian Hernan Larrain puts it, "Christianizing the inevitable revolution." In a few areas, Catholicism has had the time and talent to do so. In Venezuela, for example, the clergy has helped cut illiteracy from 50% to 12% in the past decade. One shrewd but practical way of accomplishing this was to require penitents to teach illiterates...
Arguedas all but confirmed the charge by showing up in the Chilean port of Iquique to ask for political asylum. Barrientos still refused to accuse his old friend, instead issued a statement that spoke darkly of "Castro-Communist infiltration in high organs of the state." The army, on the other hand, published a harshly worded report that seemed as interested in embarrassing the President as his minister. That boded ill for Barrientos: the army's commander in chief, Alfredo Ovando Candia, a onetime political ally, is rumored to covet the presidency for himself...

As if to make Levin's publisher even happier, Evtushenko was seen with a mysterious, unnamed Chilean admirer, who followed him to Montevideo and checked into an adjoining hotel room. Come check-out time and the Dark Lady of the Sonnets was still with him, hiding discreetly in one corner of the lobby while Evgeny bellowed at photographers: "Just one picture of me alone!" Then the poet...
...very themes of ... [the Peace Corps] endeavor," and that the "role of those Americans [who are overseas] has changed--not to a point of perfection, certainly, but to a point where perfection is a less impossible goal." This is exactly the attitude Elaine and I found in the Chilean Peace Corps Administration: an incredibly naive self-image and a messianic zeal untempered by intelligent skepticism. What can one say to an organization that admits an occasional failure and states with pride, "We have probably made by now all the mistakes that can be made in programming?" Is that good? More...
