...from Communists to the Roman Catholic Church to members of his own junta. Yet far from smoothing the ! transition to democracy, Pinochet seems intent on proving at whatever cost that the lessons of the Philippines do not apply to Chile. In the process, critics charge, he is further polarizing Chilean society. Says Gabriel Valdes, leader of the moderate Christian Democratic Party: "Pinochet is a good machine for producing Communists...
...acronym SASC stands for the Southern Africa Solidarity Committee. SASC neither favors nor opposes divestment from any other regime. A majority of SASC members, however, probably oppose the Soviet and Chilean regimes, and many have been active in organizations like Amnesty International, the Hillel's Committee on Oppressed Jewry, and Students Supporting Solidarity.

They are the same companies...
...Spencer has not been content simply to repeat himself. True, a spooky erotic attachment threads its way through this tale.

Next, she beats out 500 other girls for a coveted part in the upcoming Eddie Murphy comedy Golden Child. Then gossip columnists report that Charlotte Lewis, 18, once linked with Polanski, is now seeing Ballet Star Mikhail Baryshnikov, but the lady describes both men as "just good friends." Sorry...
Apsi's assessment may be naive, but there is no doubt that events are coming to a head in Chile as they have recently in the Philippines. The Chilean resistance, like the regime it opposes, is not what it seems. America will soon face a dilemma with Pinochet similar to the situation we are in now with Marcos. It is time we looked to the part of Chile that is too often hard to see: the people who quietly struggle for freedom, and those who struggle just to survive...
