Unlike the UK', however, the are working. It is, ot course only fair to say that in put ting the philosophie into practice Chile did not have processes getting in the way.' Facts That's good to know. Does this mean that Maggie's persuance of Milton's philosophy will lead her to embrace General Augosto Pinochet's methods? That something CLO think about.
