But if Anderson is thwarted by the G.O.P., he could once again be tempted by the notion of an independent candidacy. Says a White House aide: "He's one of those terribly fervent believers. He's got the mission...

All have graduate degrees in economics from the University of Chicago, the spiritual home of Free Marketeer Milton Friedman. Like most Chilean economists, the Boys were fervent opponents of Allende, and the military junta picked many of them for top jobs. They were given broad authority to cope with emergency in 1975, when the country lay in ruins, hammered by three blows in succession. First there was the economic chaos that preceded and immediately followed Allende...
