Many responsible Chileans are already beginning to wonder how the military would respect civil liberties. Recently, there have been reports that enlisted navymen loyal to Allende have been not only arrested but tortured for their opposition to coup-minded officers. A group of marines broke into a Valparaiso radio station, where wives of the imprisoned sailors were taking part in a forum sponsored by the Socialist Party, and arrested all the participants. When Socialist Deputies called on the naval commander of the district to protest, he simply refused to see them...
...songs from his new album Innervisions was climbing the charts ("Don't you let nobody bring you down ... God is gonna show you higher ground"), and blind Singer-Composer Stevie Wonder, 23, was recuperating in Los Angeles from an automobile accident. He had been hospitalized for two weeks in Winston-Salem, N.C., but had retained his usual optimistic frame of mind, even about his brain contusion.

It is no wonder that a recent Gallup poll in Britain revealed that 52% of those queried now feel that their nation erred in joining the Market. London now will likely assume a tougher posture toward its Common Market partners...
...people would like to project themselves at first hand, exchanging-for half an hour -their self-cleaning ovens for the black, bulbous wood stove that squats in the Ericksons' kitchen, and their disaster-crammed TV screens for the lean prospect glimpsed from the Olsons' attic window. Small wonder, then, that Wyeth's critics have dismissed "the other Andy" (as one of them, thinking of Warhol, called him) as a fabulist, and his images as a sentimental mix of frontierland and Cold Comfort Farm. The objection is almost political...
