A former army paratrooper colonel, he led a bloody but failed coup attempt in 1992 that was widely applauded by citizens fed up with cogollo rule. Many citizens complained that Chavez's government was initially slow to respond to the disaster. They conceded, however, that he was doing more than his effete predecessors would probably have done--dispatching troops to set up relocation camps and touring the devastated areas in his trademark red beret.

For many years, interns and residents have practiced a critical - some say unnecessarily invasive - procedure on patients who have failed to respond to 20 minutes of resuscitation and who are moments from clinical death.

And given the complexities of getting a spacecraft to Mars and having it work properly, it's no surprise that something should...
...Research shows that while only 10% of children who are born temperamentally "easy" have adjustment problems in elementary school, 70% of those who are "difficult" temperamentally have such problems. And while most fragile children do fine in early childhood, 50% have significant difficulties once they enter adolescence. Then children respond to the influence of peers and the larger culture in the neighborhood and the nation. The U.S. youth homicide rate is about 10 times higher than in Canada...
