...Pinochet's rigid "free trade" Chicago school economic policies, and that there has been a split within the ruling junta. He suggests that there are people in the U.S. and in "influential circles" in Chile who would like to see Pinochet replaced by a government formed by General Gustavo Leigh, commander of the Chilean Air Force, and Eduardo Frei, former president of Chile and a leader of the PDC, Moffitt says many people believe that Pinochet "is not an asset any longer--he's a detriment because he's done so much." Moffitt points especially to the crackdown on members...
...think Leigh probably thinks the economic policy is too extreme and that Pinochet's personal power is a direct threat to him," Moffitt says, adding that if one looks at the situation historically it is interesting that Pinochet has the most power in the junta because the reins of government "fell on his lap"--he was not, for the most part, involved in anti-Allende activity...
Moffitt says that the Pinochet government turned Townley over hoping he would not talk. Pinochet would like to make the assassination look like it was the work of Patria y Libertad so that he can dissociate himself from Townley and at the same time discredit Leigh, Moffitt says, adding that Pinochet was forced to deport Townley because he couldn't deny that Townley was issued an official passport.

In this ten-part series from the BBC, premiering on PBS Sunday, Feb. 5, Anna is again well served. Nicola Pagett, who played the Bellamys' willful daughter Elizabeth in Upstairs, Downstairs, may be closest of all to the character...
...beauty, Garbo had a curious androgyny, and carried with her an invisible sign that said "Look, but don't touch." Leigh was unmistakably feminine, but she also seemed distant, as if she were covered by glass, like any other priceless work of art. Pagett, by contrast, is both sensuous and voluptuous, a creature of fire and earth. Her face is marked, as Tolstoy said of Anna, by a "persistent animation." Compared with her predecessors, her features are less than ideal: her eyes have a slight goldfish bulge, her lips are too full, and her cheekbones are uncommonly high...
