and will be said, of The Times's front-
page:=article ?of Feb. 9 which. finally.
ends- a ypersonal nightmare of nine
years'2-duration.- -That nightmare
started in-1972 with the publication by ,
Jaclr:Aaderson of -the so-called I.T.T.

inauguration of President-
elect-Salva-dor Allende is 1970 (the so-called Track

Frei any C .DL program in Chile,'-
