"An account of the operations of the Aylwin presidency by one of the newspaper La Epoca's top political reporters. The author's coverage (of the roughly 30 face-to-face meetings that Aylwin had with Pinochet, for example) is less detailed and less colorful, but probably more reliable, than those of other observers, because of its more limited scope (more the presidency's operations than its policies), and because of his access to presidential palace secretaries Carlos Bascuñan and Valentina Larraín Bunster"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
