...Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is part of an emerging American state of mind, as well as a hang-over of the burnt-out sixties. Taken as a metaphor, it suggests a revolution in the asylum in which the doctors and nurses are overthrown and the inmates reign over all. As a political metaphor it attempts to identify the lot of the oppressed with the lot of the incapable. Even Animal Farm deals with the same theme in a much more complex way. McMurphy's ethic of fuck and fight is hardly a more desirable...
...Three burnt-out cases smolder on a Caribbean island. Roche, 45, is an altruistic white whose support of black causes once earned him torture in a South African jail. Now he is the house humanitarian for a local corporation, supervising a back-to-the-land project. Its design: to drain revolutionary energy away from foreign investments and native rulers. Jimmy Ahmed, a racial mix of yellow, black and white, runs this sham commune as a means of assembling responsive young boys; his heart is back in London, where trendy liberals once puffed him up from criminal to Third World celebrity...

...lists are not the only sign of collusion between DINA and sympathizers outside the country. Last month two mangled, bullet-ridden bodies were found in a burnt-out car in the Argentine town of Pilar, some 25 miles northwest of Buenos Aires. Miraculously un-charred, however, were documents that enabled the Argentine police to identify the corpses as those of two Chilean students-Jaime Robotham Bravo, 24, and Luis Guendelman Wisniak, 26, neither of them very active politically. Also conveniently intact was a placard attached to the bodies that said the students had been "executed by the MIR," the Chilean...
...past, responsibility for burnt, bullet-ridden corpses like those found near Buenos Aires has been claimed by the Argentine Anti-Communist Alliance, a right-wing terrorist group publicly linked to José López Rega. A working relationship would well serve the mutual interests of DINA and the A. A. A. DINA has a long list of names for which it needs bodies and the A.A.A. has bodies for which it needs names. DINA, it is thought, was particularly interested in whittling down its long list of missing persons before the arrival of a delegation from the U.N. Human...
