...diplomats in South America kept the cables hot. But at least one was caught off guard. When Chile seemed on the point of welcoming Argentina's new anti-U.S. government, the State Department frantically tried to get in touch with its Chilean Embassy. But sad-eyed Ambassador Claude G.

Mostly he carries people and supplies, just as he once carried a full load of medicines to earthquake victims in Chile. That was five years ago last month.
