6. U.S. actor Edward J. Olmos was fined at the Santiago 
international airport for not declaring apples and oranges he was 
carrying in his luggage. Olmos is in Chile to attend the Via del 
Mar International Film Festival that opened yesterday (El Mercurio). 
 
 
7. U.S. policy expert Carol Hardy-Fanta said that Hillary Clinton's 
defeat shows "that it's almost impossible to elect a woman President 
in the United States." She adds that Obama's style of leadership is 
similar to Bachelet's in "its warmth and assertiveness." Hardy-Fanta 
will soon visit Chile to speak at the University of Chile's Gender 
Studies Center on Women and Leadership in Public Affairs (La Tercera 
 Women's Magazine, 11/12). 
 
8. The Arauco conglomerate closed the Patagual sawmill, which 
produced 6,000 cubic meters of lumber a month for the U.S market. 
This is the fourth sawmill the conglomerate has been forced to close 
in the area of BioBio (El Mercurio). 
 
Narcotics 
----------- 
9. A money laundering and counternarcotics investigation that began 
in 2005, concluded yesterday with the arrest of Patricio Zepeda, 
owner of money exchange office Zesal.  The police raided Zepeda's 
offices and confiscated goods. The investigation shows that Zepeda 
laundered an average of $1billion pesos a year from international 
narcotics operations. Trucks smuggled marihuana and cocaine to Chile 
from Argentina through the Paso Los Libertadores in the Vth Region 
and then collected the money in Zesal offices in Santiago.  In some 
cases Zesal employees traveled to Argentina to delivered the payment 
in dollars (La Tercera). 
 
Local 
------- 
10. The Association of Public Employees (ANEFE) rejected the 9% 
gradual salary increase offered by the government and extended the 
strike for another day.  Union leaders called for a march in 
Valparaiso, where they hope to meet with congressmen. The ANEFE is 
demanding a 14.5% wage increase. The strike is affecting 
municipalities, health services, the Civil Registrar's Office 
--which is not registering deaths --, and international crossings 
due to the absence of animal and plant health inspectors. Public 
schools might have to extend the end of the school year for another 
week (La Segunda, conservative, afternoon, circ. 33,000). 
 
Human Rights 
---------------- 
11. The medical examination ordered by Judge Victor Montiglio

sentence pending on the general. Arellano- Stark was head of a 
military delegation known as "The Death Caravan," which was 
responsible for the death of a number of military regime opponents 
in 1973. This was the same medical prognosis used to prevent General 
Pinochet from facing charges in the same case (La Segunda).
