December 27--At about 10, after exploring Santiago all day, we went to a small bar for a few beers. In walked a beautiful little girl, about eight years old, selling aspirin, trailed by three or four smaller brothers and sisters.

Last month, after West German Ambassador Ehrenfried von Holleben was kidnaped, he was ransomed by the release of 40 prisoners, who were flown to asylum in Algeria. One of them, Vera Silvia Araújo Magālhaes, 22, had to be carried from the plane; she said that her legs were paralyzed because of brutal tortures that often concentrated on her genitals. Another, Daniel de Arāo Reis Filho, displayed badly scarred arms. Police left him hanging from a beam, he said, "until there was no skin where my arms were placed across the wood...
