There were rural campesinos carrying scythes, cement workers in blue hardhats, electricians in yellow ones, copper miners whose helmet lights glowed eerily in the dusk. For nearly two hours they listened as their tieless. coatless President, Salvador Allende Gossens, reeled off numbers-of farms expropriated, factories nationalized, peasants resettled on their own new lands.
