IT’S PROBABLY time
that I clarify something
about letters from
readers. Sometimes
one letter will lead to
seven or eight pages of
reply — obviously too
much for one column.
Thus, your letter may
appear as three different
letters each dealing with a

separate problem. The other
source of questions is the

telephone and I often repeat

the question in letter form if
it ts of general interest.
Guess it _ falls into the

but I think it makes for
better reading if we can
focus on one thing at a time.

DEAR BARBARA: A while
ago you did a film review on
a picture called Missing
starring Jack Lemmon and
Sissy Spack. You made some
comments about the
behavior of the people in-
volved especially concerning
their behavior in situations
in South America during a
ume of political unrest. I was
very interested at the time
but, aside from enjoying the
movie, didn’t connect with
the advice because I didn't
think I'd ever need it.

Now I do. My son-is going.

to South America, travelling
by himself for eight months.
I'm scared witless. Can you
summarize the advice part of
the Missing column, please?

and ignorance don't wash
when trying to talk your way
out of trouble in any military

regime. The key is to ask no

questions, take no pictures
and fade into the  back-
ground.

The best background to
fade into is a luxury hotel,

to leave such a hotel, unless,
of course, it should be
bombed. Aside from that,
you can eat, sleep and
arrange your exit from a
position of relative safety.
Stay off the streets,
especially at night. Curfews
are apt to be called before
you know it and it doesn't
pay to be caught out during
the wrong hours. Don't rely
