...blast the Pope. Andrea Rivera, one of the MC?s of the concert, said to some 700,000 youths and a national television audience: "I can't stand the fact that the Vatican refused a funeral for Welby but that wasn't the case for [Chilean dictator Augusto] Pinochet or [Spanish dictator Francisco] Franco." He also tried this one-liner: "The Pope says he doesn't believe in evolution. I agree, in fact the Church has never evolved...
...trace. Onboard, it's like a trendy Scandinavian penthouse: white floors, outdoor jacuzzis, ambient grooves trickling through iTunes. The staff of 33 read like a Who's Who of Chilean military and academia: the captain once commanded the Chilean Navy SEALs, the expedition leader was in command of Augusto Pinochet's bodyguards, and Gian Paolo Sanino, the scientist who leads the ecotours, wrote Chile's new law on whale and dolphin watching. His payoff? He gets to conduct baseline research in an area where very little cetacean research has been done. "We always complain the private sector doesn't sponsor...

Meanwhile, Pinochet supporters offered counterfactuals that claimed many more would have died had Chile continued its “road to socialism.” They told of a government that was collapsing in upon itself without any help from the outside. They referenced the relatively low number killed in Chile versus other...
...vaguely refers to how terrible “it” was and shakes her head. She then focuses on telling me about her family and how valuable they have been. In a way, we dance around the ugliness of the crimes just as the media and post-Pinochet debates do. The difference is we aren’t avoiding something unknown, but rather something she knows too well. Lauren R. Foote ’07, a Crimson editorial editor, is a Latin American studies concentrator in Currier House...
