They favor big picture, computer modeled analysis and foreign affairs experience, with a mix of Pentagon, NSC, and ISA backgrounds.

Letelier's Cuban links traced in exile case files
Secret papers found after Orlando Letelier's 1976 assassination show a $1000 monthly payment through a Havana channel. Beatrice Allende in Havana and Chilean Socialist Party figures approve the funds, with Cuban authorities implied. A 1976 note mentions Emilio Brito and Julian Rizo, linked to Cuban intelligence, while Letelier's widow and colleagues deny knowledge of covert payments. A separate EPA notice reports nitrosamine pollution at Eli Lilly's plant, but allows continued discharges.
