CARACAS,
Venezuela (AP) -- 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.

Sorry, Firebird. Yes. I changed to Discus. Feel it's a better platform to comment on, instead of Blogspot's comment feature.
