For the next four hours, a crowd assembled spontaneously in the blazing sun, hugging, waving flags, and jumping ("el que no salta es Pinochet") to the chants of "se siente, se siente, Allende está presente." Half a metro line uptown, nearly as many people were in mourning for their "friend" and "father," the ex-general...
