...distinction without a difference. The fact, which cannot be evaded by childish sophistries, is that Harberger directly and through his students and disciples is a principal architect of Chile's oppressive economic program. In the New York Times of February 7, he says that he is only a technician. "People who criticize this attitude for an alleged neglect of non-economic consideration," he says, "usually have in mind such things as morality, democracy and justice."

Four teen guards and one medical technician were captured; three others on duty, helped by friendly prisoners, found hiding places. The rioting inmates then ran amuck through the 37-acre prison grounds. Some rushed to the workrooms for boards, pipes, acetylene torches, anything that could be used as a weapon.

...dirty looks from ushers when you run behind the court carrying your $3.50 plastic-enclosed chef's salad. You don't get burned by the sun or soaked by the rain. You don't hear the cheers that drift over from Shea Stadium. And there's always a technician waiting to tune out the noise when a jet from LaGuardia thunders...
