-- President Hugo Chavez,
the fiery populist who
declared a socialist
revolution in Venezuela,
crusaded against U.S.
influence and championed
a leftist revival across
Latin America, died
Tuesday at age 58 after a
nearly two-year bout with
cancer.
Vice President Nicolas
Maduro, surrounded by
other government officials,
announced the death in a
national television
broadcast. He said Chavez
died at 4:25 p.m. local time.
