"President Pinochet"
President Pinochet in his office. The Chilean coat of arms bears the
motto "By reason or by force". The General hides the reason and is

of years later, I was told it was forbidden to photograph his desk.
When I innocently asked why, his aide-de-camp said there was a picture
out there that had done a lot of harm to Chile (read Pinochet). Ah,
the power of photography...
