Veteran journalist Marc Cooper is not any stranger to the airwaves. He was a translator to President Salvador Allende in Chile in the Popular Unity Government from 1970 to 73. Marc has memorialized his experience in Chile in his book, “Pinochet and Me: A Chilean Anti-Memoir,” that came out in 2001, but is still available, and is a very good read. He just returned from a month in Chile looking at Chilean politics 50 years after the coup, and one year since the new left-wing government of Gabriel Boric was elected in a landslide. The first installment of Marc’s writing on Chile went online March 8, International Women’s Day, on Truthdig.com with more to come.
