Rosencrantz: It's a day late but we should remember an event that so often gets lost amidst the coverage of the Sept. 11 attacks. Yesterday was also the 38th anniversary of the coup d'etat that overthrew Salvador Allende, the democratically elected president of Chile, and began the almost two decade military dictatorship under Augusto Pinochet.
