...about 9% of the total work force. The problem bedevils Betancourt most in Caracas (pop. 1,000,000), where an estimated 70,000 are out of work. Just a fortnight ago, a few hundred demonstrators snowballed into a wild march of 15,000 unemployed toward the presidential palace. Only tear gas stopped them short.

For two days they ran wild, ignoring Larrazábal's sportsmanlike concession of defeat-big news itself in a continent accustomed to ending vote counts with cries of fraud. Only a cloud of army tear gas stopped them. And although Ground Forces Commander Marco Aurelio Moros declared himself "sure that the armed forces will respect the will of the people," Pérez Jiménez-coddled officers have long been unshakably opposed to Betancourt...
