...DEMONSTRATION against the Chilean junta lasts week at Boston University two protesters attracted a large and amused crowd of onlookers by donning masks of Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger '50 and Chile's dictator General Augusto Pinochet. The two staged a mock dialogue in which Pinochet thanked Kissinger for bringing him to power, and Kissinger in turn commended Pincohet for ruling Chile with a firm hand.

Under a policy of systematic repression and intimidation mass arrests have taken place in villages throughout Chile during recent months. According to a report of the International Commission of Jurists, the number of people arrested in these actions may be anywhere from 10,000 to 20,000. This is the second stage of organized terror by the junta and DINA. In the first stage, mass executions were the mode of repression. Perhaps as many...
