...section carries two wide-ranging interviews, one with Watergate Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski, the other with Vice President-Designate Nelson Rockefeller. The World section contains an extended interview with Constantino Caramanlis -one of the first that Greece's Premier has given to an American journalist since the military junta resigned under pressure last July. In recent weeks TIME has run interviews with a host of world figures, including Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, French President Valery Giscard d'Estaing, West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, Palestinian Leader Yasser Arafat and Polish Communist Party Boss Edward Gierek...
...three months since he agreed to take over from the discredited junta government of Greece, Premier Constantine Caramanlis has confidently steered the country back toward democracy. He has wiped out the repressions and suspicions of seven years of military dictatorship, freed political prisoners, abolished censorship, revoked martial law, advocated constitutional reforms and even legalized the Communist Party, which had been outlawed for the past 30 years. Now Caramanlis, 67, who was Premier from 1955 to 1963 and spent the past eleven years in self-imposed exile in France until his recall by the demoralized junta, is seeking a national mandate...
...DEMONSTRATION against the Chilean junta lasts week at Boston University two protesters attracted a large and amused crowd of onlookers by donning masks of Secretary of State Henry A.

According to a report of the International Commission of Jurists, the number of people arrested in these actions may be anywhere from 10,000 to 20,000. This is the second stage of organized terror by the junta and DINA. In the first stage, mass executions were the mode of repression. Perhaps as many as 30,000 people--political leaders, intellectuals, students, and artists--were massacred during the first few months after Allende was murdered...
SINCE THE COUP, the junta has apparently begun to act in accordance with concepts expressed in this editorial. Anti-semitism, encouraged and practiced by the state, is widespread, and Jews have become key targets of DINA oppression. Such times are heaven-sent for former Obersturmbannfuhrer Rauff. We can only hope that his happiness in the new Chile will be short lived, and that that country will again soon be a symbol of social justice. Salvador Allende said that he had one primary cause: the children of Chile. These children must not reach adulthood under a regime dominated by men like...
