Retailers can surveys ship to shows just 14 states, and that will drop to 13 this summer when an Illinois law takes effect prohibiting the practice, said Tom Wark, executive director of the Sacramento-based Specialty Wine Retailers Assn.

Such restrictions are generally supported by wine wholesalers and distributors, who see any relaxing of the rules as an assault on a distribution system that has served them profitably since the end of Prohibition in 1933. They argue that the laws make good social policy by reducing access by minors, ensuring state tax collection and providing consumers with a wide selection of products. Retailers disagree, saying that allowing people to order wine in other states improves consumer choice and often saves money.

The ex-dictator's children and the other suspects were reportedly taken to several detention sites. The corruption case seems certain to raise tensions among restive ex-military officials in Chile, where supporters of the Pinochet regime are angry about pending charges against more than 500 ex-officers, including 50 retired generals. "This case is like a cluster bomb that spreads and activates another series of legal processes, another series of threats," said Walter Sanchez, a political analyst. Human rights activists hailed the action as a blow against impunity surrounding the deaths and disappearances of more than 3,000 people in Chile's "dirty war" against leftists. "The death of Pinochet only ends his criminal responsibility, but it doesn't extinguish the responsibility of the collaborators, accomplices and cover-up artists who acted in concert with him," said Hugo Gutierrez, an attorney specializing in rights cases. Pinochet, who ruled from 1973 to 1990, had been facing corruption and human rights charges when he died. The arrests ordered Thursday stemmed from the revelation in a U. S.
