Isaac "Nick" Levi, who chronicled Latin America for The Associated Press during a wide-ranging four-decade career, died Friday of complications of pneumonia. He was 76.
Levi joined the AP in Argentina in 1963 and worked there and in Uruguay until 1969. He became bureau chief in Santiago, Chile, covering the rise of leftist President Salvador Allende, before moving to head AP's Lima, Peru, bureau in 1973 as the region was wracked by coups and civil conflicts.
