Sunk into comparative obscurity six months ago, his theatrically effective plans for the relief of unemployment (TIME, March 11) may win enough seats for the despised Liberals to give them the balance of power in parliamentary debates between Conservatives and Laborites, both numerically more potent...

Visions of impending revolution, rapine and pillage beset the leaderless legislators. Bundling into motor busses, they rode out again last week from Caracas to Maracay, where the old Dictator, now 72, holds court on his model farm, a Latin-American George Washington at a tropical Mt.
