Luis Guajardo Zamorano, 23, a cycling enthusiast and engineering student at the University of Chile, was arrested at a bicycle repair shop in Santiago on July 20, 1974. Four days later, a priest called the Guajardo family to inform them that Luis had been hit by a car and was taken to the first aid post in the Santiago railroad station in the custody of DINA agents.

The fastest-growing phenomenon in food retailing today is not supermarkets but so-called convenience stores, small outlets catering to people who wish to shop at odd hours and do not mind doing so in odd places like gas stations. Sales at these minimarkets increased by more than 22% last year, despite high prices: their pretax profits, as a percentage of sales, average 4.8%, v. a bare 1.1% in supermarkets, which depend on high volume, not high markups...
