...vital hidden issue. Goldberg has had to suffer the discomfort of having the state's A.F.L.-C.I.O. endorse the multimillionaire Rockefeller while rejecting a former union lawyer and Secretary of Labor. But Goldberg may wind up with the votes of many union members and other workers nevertheless. The General Motors strike has idled 17,000 in the state; on Long Island-a Rockefeller bastion in his first three races-unemployment is at 5.8%, the highest in New York...
Walinsky is running hard against New York State Attorney General Louis Lefkowitz, 66, an incumbent for 14 years and a genial New York Republican institution. The Walinsky campaign is energetic, relevant and heavily financed. He is spending between $400,000 and $500,000, roughly three times his opponent's budget. He spends himself just as lavishly. On one recent campaign day, he made half a dozen stops in the New York City area, flew into Buffalo at midnight and held a three-hour meeting before going to sleep...

Ovando brought left-wing intellectuals into his Cabinet, expropriated the holdings of American-owned Bolivian Gulf Oil Co., and gave Communist labor leaders free reign...
...million interest in El Teniente, the world's largest underground copper mine; Cerro Corp., with $15 million in copper investments; and ITT, with $200 million or more in the Chilean telephone system, a cable company and two Santiago hotels. Others are the Dow Chemical Co., Ford Motor Co., General Motors Corp., the General Tire and Rubber Co. and North American Rockwell Corp. The pace of Allende's actions will also depend on the state of the economy. "The more his back is to the wall," says one American economist, "the more likely he will be to move harshly and quickly...
