...seven members of the folk-singing group were members of the Communist Youth Organization in Chile during the regime of former President Salvador Allende. They now live and perform in exile...
...Meeting in San Salvador last week, delegates from 38 Latin American and African nations that grow almost all the world's coffee agreed to continue an effort begun last September to try to boost prices by holding 20% of their production off the market. The producers have been stung in the past six months by a 25% drop in world wholesale prices for green coffee, to a barely profitable 520 per Ib.

"Freedom of speech" is a beautiful ideal, so long as this right is reserved for such groups as the New American Movement and prohibited for others such as the supporters of the Chilean military junta. For instance, Eduardo Frei (the Chilean president before Salvador Allende, and leader of the Christian Democrat Party) was unable to speak before a symposium for the Center for Latin-American Development Studies (CLADS) at Boston University in mid-October because of violent student disruptions. Quoting from The Daily Free Press (October 17, 1974): "The crowd of approximately 75 protesters rushed...
