...have justified the Court's action, for this decision frustrated an important U.S. legal initiative. It precluted the trial of these officers in the District for their alleged role in the September 1976 car-bombing assassination of Orlando Letelier, a highly vocal Chilean exile with diplomatic status, and Ronni Moffitt, an American citizen riding in the front seat of Mr. Letelier's car when a bomb exploded beneath the steering wheel...
...fact, Ambassador Barros' empirical claim about the Chilean Supreme Court is misleading, we must regard his attack on American action with great skepticism. After all, the circumstance surrounding this matter of extradition are extraordinarily disturbing. Enough evidence has emerged to strongly suggest that the assassination of Letelier and Moffitt was planned and executed with the knowledge and approval of Gen. Pinochet, Chile's chief executive, in much the same way the Col. Qaddafi knows and approves of Libyan-financed terrorist activity in Europe.

Your Money Matters by Donald Moffitt. Even some six-digit corporate executives have no idea how they will bankroll their retirement, so Moffitt has collected his Wall Street Journal columns on personal finance into a $4.95 paperback for them as well as more modest money earners.

Editor Phillip Moffitt, having now reached the average Esquire reader's age (the 30's) is sure he knows exactly what his generation wants: less of the old smart-ass Moffitt's generation, he says, saw the emptiness of their parents' lives but have now outgrown their own cynicism. Economically, "they assume they can make it if they work," says Moffitt. So "after survival needs, they want to know who they are, they want more meaningful vacations, careers...
...born-again Esquire will likely be run by the co-presidents of 13-30 Corp., Phillip Moffitt, 32, and H. Christopher Whittle, 31. "I've never heard of these people," says Esquire National Editor Richard Reeves. "They could have landed from Mars." Felker plans to remain in New York City after their landing, but earlier this year he bought an all-advertising throwaway newspaper in California and signed a lucrative deal with 20th Century Fox to develop movie ideas. "In the end I'm going to do something else in journalism," says he. "I'm a journalist...
