这是我第三次来智利演讲，前两次是在1970年（阿连德当选前）和1971年（在UP政府执政期间）。1965年（弗雷当选后不久），我也在这里讲课，但没有合同。我不能声称知道智利大学或其他大学的所有分支（sedes）和院系的状况，但我相当熟悉这里发生的事情。我可以向你保证，就本部门而言，你的文章几乎完全不真实。我在这里的两个月里，没有在学院内或附近看到任何军队，尽管我知道他们在政变后几天搜查了武器，从那时起他们就没有回来。这个部门没有一名工作人员因政治或任何其他原因被解雇。“不参加反全能游行”等行为“现在不再被视为非法”。部门里几乎没有人参加过这样的行动。相反，相当数量的教职员工和大约50%的学生经常参加支持All-Allbons的会议或示威活动。对于所有那些在学术岗位上保持不变的UP同情者或激进分子（更不用说那些不关心政治的人了），你建议他们“以傀儡的身份留在大学里”是一种侮辱。你在这句话的结尾加上了“根据军政府的法令组织研究，教授军政府认为适合教授的东西”。这里的课程不会提交给任何人，无论是军方还是其他方面，以获得批准。我自己的课程甚至连系主任都没有审查过。你的报告对某些学术机构来说肯定是真实的（因为我不相信整个国际媒体都被误导了），但它离全部真相还很远。要么你太容易相信难民在欧洲所作的声明，不管是真的还是假的，而不试图核实它们，要么你不关心直接的报道，而是出于政治考虑。如果后者是真的，《自然》杂志已经不再是一本科学杂志，而变成了一本政治杂志，作为一个爱尔兰人，
This is the third occasion I have come to Chile to lecture, the previous visits being in 1970 (before Allende's election) and 1971 (under the UP government). I also lectured here in 1965 (shortly after Frei's election) but not with a contract. I cannot claim to know the state of all the branches (sedes) and faculties of the University of Chile or other universities, but I am tolerably well acquainted with what goes on here. I can assure you that as far as this department is concerned, your article is almost totally untrue. I have seen no military in or near the Faculty in my two months here, although I do understand that they searched it for arms a couple of days after the coup, since when they have not returned. Not one member of staff of this department has been dismissed for political or any other reasons. Actions' such as not taking part in the anti-Allende demonstrations' are not'now retrospectively considered illegal'. Hardly anyone in the department ever took part in such actions. On the contrary a considerable number of the staff and perhaps 50% of the students regularly took part in pro-Allende meetings or demonstrations. To all those UP sympathisers or militants (not to mention the apolitical) who stay unchanged in their academic posts, your suggestion that they'remain at the universities in puppet roles' is insulting. You conclude the phrase by adding'organising research according to the junta's decree, teaching what the junta thinks fit to be taught'. The courses here are submited to no one, military or otherwise, for approval. My own course has not been reviewed even by the director of the department.Your report must certainly be true for some academic institutions (because I cannot believe the entire international press is misinformed) but it is nowhere near the whole truth. Either you too easily believe the statements made in Europe by refugees, genuine or otherwise, without attempting to verify them, or you are not concerned with straight reporting and are motivated by political considerations. If the latter is true and Nature has ceased to be a scientific journal to become a political one, may I, as an Irishman,
