The New Yorker: From the Archives (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | Venezuela is nearly twice the size of Spain—three hundred and fifty thousand square miles. |
 | | Chávez says that Venezuela is neutral in the war that the Colombian Army, various paramilitary organizations, and the guerrillas have been fighting for forty years, and he has offered to mediate in peace negotiations. |
 | | In any case, the break with Bravo is emblematic of Chávez's problems with some leftists in Venezuela, who have qualms about his military background, his pro-business policies, and his friendships with people of varying political philosophies—including, bizarrely, Norberto Ceresole, an Argentine neofascist and Holocaust denier who was asked to leave Venezuela after Chávez became President. |
