Mrs. Carter's itinerary takes her to four democracies (Jamaica, Costa Rica, Venezuela and Colombia) and three military dictatorships (Brazil, Peru and Ecuador) but skips such "southern cone" countries as Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Paraguay, all run by rightist juntas. Whatever importance different regimes attach to her visit, she seems assured of a cordial welcome wherever she goes and a downright affectionate one in some places.

...Chile. Church sources say that more than 1,000 political prisoners have been killed by the harsh rightist regime of General Augusto Pinochet since the 1973 overthrow of Marxist President Salvador Allende.
