Memorable dates

First, this blog and our entire staff (Bear, Lion, Fox & Glib) wish you all good fortune in the year 4071, Year of the Monkey, which began yesterday (according to our Chinese friends). Second, we are reminded every time January 23 comes around of that momentous day in 1958, when Venezuelans changed their history. For photos and background (in Spanish) on the events of that day, January 23, 1958, see Globovision's 23 de enero, momento para recordar
