	NotiSur - Latin American Political Affairs; June 6, 1997
		Banzer returns to power after fifth try at ballot box This was the 71-year-old Banzer's fifth bid to return to power through elections, and his victory marks the first time in Latin America's history that a former dictator has been democratically elected (see NotiSur, 12/11/91).
		Pledge to soften neoliberal policies is key to victory In the campaign, Banzer repeated his slogan of "bread, housing, and jobs." While many remember the violence of his regime, others remember it as a time of economic growth.
		While Banzer endorses neoliberal reform, he appears to have listened to the growing frustrations of Bolivians who complain that privatization of the railways, telephones, and public services has resulted in skyrocketing rates that are now beyond the reach of many, especially the 70% of Bolivians who live below the poverty line.
