Public radio to air Allende interview Marxist president of Chile, Salvador Allende, recently granted an exclusive interview to John Wallach, a diplomatic correspondent for Hearst Newspapers, on behalf of National Public Radio, at his home near Santiago, Chile. Chile is the first nation in the Western Hemisphere to have elected a socialist president; its relations with the U.S. have been strained since Allende took office in 1970.
