The lessons seemed to be clear: a yearning for freedom would not always be consummated; tanks were more powerful than words; the good guys did not always win; Europe would remain divided.

...housing quandary is unlikely to sway enough voters away from Chavez to give opposition candidate Manuel Rosales a genuine chance at beating the heavily favored incumbent in December. The protesters outside the ministry are proof that widespread popularity of the government's social development programs that provide cheap food and free health care outweigh most anger over housing. They were there to decry their hardships and to berate the housing minister for not delivering new houses. But interspersed with those chants they hollered, "Long live Chavez...
