...SERGIO GUTIERREZ-OLIVOS The wife of Chile's newly arrived ambassador scored well with a novel form of entertainment. She and her husband, a former law school dean, worked up a month-long "Image of Chile" program, lured more than 300 diplomats and officials, including the Bobby Kennedys, the Johnsons, the Arthur Schlesingers Jr., to hear performers like Pianist Claudio Arrau and Felicia Montealegre, Leonard Bernstein's actress wife, who recited Chilean poetry...
...nations that try to assert exclusive fishing rights beyond the three-mile off-shore limit recognized by the U.S. "What has happened off the coast of South America is positively shocking," said Alaska's Democratic Senator Ernest Gruening, referring to harassment of U.S. fishermen by Ecuador, Chile and Peru.

Outside of the Himalayas, the highest country on earth is Bolivia, which nestles in the Andes, landlocked in behind Peru and Chile. Since the altitude of La Paz (pop. 350,000) is 11,900 ft., visitors are warned to get used to the thin air before taking a cocktail or attempting anything so athletic as trotting upstairs.

But fishing limits are something else, and more and more nations are pushing their boundaries beyond three miles-Mexico nine miles, Canada to twelve, and such nations as Chile, Peru and Ecuador to an imperious 200 miles offshore. Many nations have settled on a twelve-mile limit, but the U.S. up to now has refused to recognize any jurisdiction beyond the traditional three-mile limit...
