good news? YES!

[Peter Kilander]

The October 19th New Yorker had a thorough piece on Pinochet. I liked this
quote from the third paragraph: "...And his views don't seem to have shifted
much. 'Lamentably,' he says, 'almost everyone in the world today is a
Marxist -- even if they don't know it themselves. They continue to have
Marxist ideas.'"

And from the fourth to last paragraph: "Lucia told me that her father's
visit to London might well be his last. His physical problems were catching
up with him. Besides, things weren't the same in London. People didn't seem
to recognize him anymore. The Burberry's salesman was an exception. She was
hoping he would feel enough, after his medical examination, to come with her
to Paris, to visit Napolean's tomb."

I wonder if the backdrop of Latin America's economic problems, and its
relation to the West, has anything to do with his being picked up.
