...Rockefeller's narcotics program is scandalous," Goldberg says. He has promised to provide treatment within six months for every addict who wants it, and has even said he would walk ghetto streets himself to be sure heroin is no longer being openly sold. Rockefeller candidly admits the seriousness of the situation even while he emphasizes his efforts to alter...
Almost everything Rockefeller calls a success, Goldberg calls a failure: the state's mammoth building program ("an edifice complex," Goldberg says, borrowing an old sally), environment protection, schools. One of his most effective TV spots is meant to capitalize on voter frustration over mass transportation. Goldberg does not appear in it at all. New York subway riders do, during a typical rush-hour crush, as a voice-over says that Rockefeller claims to have built enough highways to stretch from Albany to Hawaii. The camera dwells on one harassed passenger as the voice says: "But he doesn...
...fast will Allende move? Most observers think that he will lose no time nationalizing the banks and the American copper interests. A prime target is the $200 million investment of the Anaconda Co. In the beginning, the firm resisted Frei's "Chileanization" program (51% government ownership) and has been slower than other copper companies to train Chileans for top jobs. Not far behind will be the Kennecott Copper Corp., with an $80 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...
...native managers and technicians to other countries, and hence Allende will pay careful heed to Castro's advice. Chilean technicians have the reputation of being the best in Latin America. Many who now receive U.S.-scale salaries may try to go elsewhere if, as is likely, an Allende austerity program should reduce salaries of the middle class by as much as 50%. And as Allende addresses himself to the cares of the laborers and campesinos, who are his chief supporters, middle-class privileges will inevitably be trimmed away...
During the campaign, Allende vowed that he would expropriate the country's leading newspaper, the conservative El Mercurio. Now it seems that he will not even have to bother. He can achieve the same result by withholding government advertising from Mercurio and other offending publications; as the nationalization program gathers momentum, such punishment will become ever more deadly. Says a Chilean associated with the paper: "El Mercurio is like a candle in a bottle. It will give light for a while, and then will be smothered, leaving only a little black smoke. How long it lasts depends...
