Less than 24 hours after arriving in Santiago, Chile, for a long-awaited interview with President Salvador Allende Gossens, Eisendrath found a government collapsing and Allende dead−literally across the street from his lodgings in the Carrera-Sheraton Hotel.

DISNEY ON PARADE. 100 Disney characters in person. The U.S. of A.'s finest, much better than the exported stuff. (Someone's parading in Santiago tonight, too, but it isn't Mickey Mouse). Through Sunday at the Boston Garden. I CAME INTO THE WORLD, by Peter Handke, and THE JEWISH WIFE, by Bertolt Brecht. This double bill played for months on end last year. Friends of mine claimed it was outstanding although they couldn't understand the Handke and didn't like the Brecht. Opens tonight at 8:30 p.m. at the Old Cambridge Baptist Church, 1151 Mass...
...weeks ago, Salvador Allende died, apparently by his own hand, as the Chilean military prepared to storm the Palace after a two-hour air and artillery bombardment. He died as he had lived, fighting for socialism, for justice, for the Santiago children who never got enough to eat. He fought with speeches and ballots, and now his remaining companeros will fight with guns...
