Nobody in Chile has ever taken the five year-old Nacista party very seriously except the Nacistas. The Nacistas take everything seriously. Last week the Nacista Congress at Santiago was very grave about a serious mistake everybody (except the Nacistas) had made for a long time-namely, confusing the word Nacista with the word Nazi.

Last week a Gallup poll on voluntary health insurance indicated that some 25,000,000 persons largely in the group earning over $980 a year would be willing to pay $3 a month for complete medical and hospital care.
