Dear Editor:  Explain to Francisco Rivero that in 1958, when Perez Jimenez was ousted, there were 8,000 "ranchos" in Caracas ... and in 1970 there was what was called "the ring of misery around the city" that was hundreds of thousands of ranchos.

Is that what he calls "explosive economic growth and improving well-being in Venezuela."

Mr. Rivero: Explain your father's point to the fascist crowd on the corner of Calle 5 de Sta. Eduvigis who, tonight (Tuesday) at 8:30-9:00 p.m. ... with whistles and horns and a megaphone, yelling "Muera Chavez, Muerte Los Chavistas," "Sta. Eduvigis es de la oposicion", and hypocritly "no queremos division," "libertad," "no a la dictadura, fuera el dictador" etc. That means: "Die Chavez; Death to the Chavistas," "Sta. Eduvigis (our neighborhood) is for the opposition," "we want no division," "freedom," "no dictatorship, out with the dictator."
