...disasters surprised no one in Venezuela, where banking collapses have become periodic rituals, the economy has fallen into ruin and public cynicism is pervasive. Over the past 15 months, 16 private banks have failed and been nationalized. The government has picked up the tab for $7 billion in losses, equivalent to 16% of last year's GDP. Charges of financial irresponsibility, corruption and outright theft are flying. Arrest warrants have been issued for more than 100 people in connection with the collapses, and dozens of financiers are believed to have fled the country. President Rafael Caldera has charged that...

Enter this, the first setback of 1995, into the ledger then, and it looks like a drop in the bucket, the past being prologue...
...attitude toward the big purple dinosaur, might actually call that a step forward. The race for the symbolic high ground has begun. Newt Gingrich has complained that public television is elitist and just a "sandbox for the rich," and that Joe Taxpayer should not have to pick up the tab anymore. Public-TV executives, who will argue their cause this Thursday at a House Appropriations Subcommittee hearing, have responded by casting themselves as champions of the common man -- and the common kid.
