...second list named Luis Guajardo as one of 59 exiled Chilean guerrillas who had clashed in a deadly shoot-out with Argentine police in the remote province of Salta. It appeared in Brazil in another justly obscure publication, a "newspaper" called O Dia. So far, no one has been able to locate the O Dia offices, and the Brazilian Press Association says it has never heard of the paper. Neither has anyone been able to confirm the spectacular shoot-out in Salta involving 59 supposed terrorists. Despite the questionable validity of both reports, they have been widely publicized in Chile...

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.

What could be the only fictional film about the indochina War (we exclude The Green Berels, which was so outrageous that French students would systematically take to the streets whenever it opened in a given...
Like Litvinov. Bitar notes that it is impossible to gauge the individual role of elements such as Amnesty, universities, and the church in gaining his release, saying that it was the combined pressures of world opinion that eventually won him his freedom. Many political prisoners are still languishing in Chilean jails. With a glint of anger in his eyes. Bitar remarks that the process of brutality has now been institutionalized in Chile, thereby producing "a sort of Gestapo autonomous from the central government." He describes the Chilean leadership as having "the most reactionary mentality in Latin America today," and concludes...
