...Chile's Christian Democrat Eduardo Frei and Castro-loving Marxist Salvador Allende were the best of friends until two years ago-when they both ran for the presidency. After a bitter campaign, Frei rolled up the biggest electoral plurality in his country's history (56%). Since then, the two have been the best of enemies. Last month Allende managed to win election as head of the Chilean Senate. Quietly, he organized a strong Senate opposition of Communists, socialists and middle-roading Radicals, all of whom had managed to stall most of Frei's legislative requests. Last week...

At last year's world championships in Portillo, Chile, French women won eight out of twelve medals; and just this month, Coach Honore Bonnet told reporters that the only question was which of his two best girls-Marielle Goitschel or Annie Famose-would win this year's World Cup.

It is Opera Singer Jane Marsh, 24, capturing first prize at Moscow's Tchaikovsky competition. It is Medal of Honor Winner Robert...
...many foreigners this seemed a bit odd, for by this time Britain had a squabble of her own with Chile and Argentina concerning some overlapping claims in Antarctica. Moreover, the Argentines and British were (and still are) counterclaiming sovereignty over the tiny Falkland Islands, 300 miles off Argentina's coast. But faith in British fair play survives, and in 1964 both countries agreed to let Elizabeth II finish what her great-great-grandmother started. Under her ruling, which has just been published, Argentina gets a carefully defined 71% of the disputed area, but in Chile's minority share...
