This chapter assesses the Frei administration's national and international response to the energy the Cuban Revolution unleashed in Latin America in the 1960s. It presents President Eduardo Frei as an independent actor with his own agenda, which included the backing and accelerating of Chileans' developmental project in nuclear science and technology. It also reconstructs and reevaluates the United States, particularly the CIA's, relationship with Frei.

The part that science and technology have played in influencing the economic, social and political patterns of western society and in enriching the lives of its people has steadily increased during the last century. The scope and character of this influence have varied widely from country to country. Traditions, mores, maturity, size, patterns of education, and many other factors have been elements in bringing about the variations. The influence has probably been most profound in the United States, principally, I believe, because of its youth, size, and patterns of education. Beginning some four or five decades ago, my country has been transformed at an increasingly rapid tempo from primarily an agricultural society to predominantly an industrial one under the driving force of an expanding body of science and technology. So completely have they dominated the pattern of our growth that when the man in the street speaks of ‘progress’, he usually means scientific and technological progress.

Different Parts

News items on science and technology in English-language newspapers published in different parts of India during January-December 1996 were analyzed. Results indicate that the greatest proportion of newspaper space was devoted to nuclear science and technology, followed by defense, space research, and astronomy. The Pioneer, The Hindu, and The Times of India were the newspapers that together devoted about 23 percent of the total space to items on science and technology. The sources for most of the articles (97 percent) on policy issues originated from within India, while for other stories foreign sources, including those from the United States and the United Kingdom, also contributed. Many of the items were supported by illustrations such as photographs and diagrams. The study indicates that, on average, Indian newspapers devoted far less than one percent of the total printed space to articles and stories related to science and technology.
