Hammerman tried to collect between 3% and 5% of a contract's total value but is described as having been willing to accept "any reasonable sum." He "generally held Mr. Agnew's 50% share in a safe-deposit box until Mr. Agnew called for it." The Governor would do so by telephoning Hammerman to ask how many "papers" his friend was holding. Says the summary: "It was understood between Mr. Agnew and Hammerman that the term 'paper' referred to $1,000 in cash...
Signed Copies. Just when it seemed that some mobility and communication would be restored for reporters in Santiago, the junta introduced censorship. Quickly labeled "file now, die later" by the journalists, the system required reporters to deposit signed copies of all their files with the censor for possible use as "judicial evidence."

...years, all ceilings on the interest rates that banks and S and Ls can pay to savers. The savings institutions could then pay, even on ordinary passbook accounts, any rate that they thought necessary to attract money. They can do this now only on $100,000 certificates of deposit, or $1,000 CDs running four years or longer...
