Soldiers were slightly more in evidence than usual on Caracas streets last week. There was an irksome 7 p.m. curfew, and at night Caraqueños heard isolated shots from snipers vainly trying to scare up a little counter-revolutionary enthusiasm.

Their recorded words were heard on ABC's Child's World (Thurs. 10 p.m., E.S.T.). As is often the case with confessions, the sins were more interesting than the good resolutions...
