| Pinochet dead: hospital |
| 2006-12-10 |
 Former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet died at 91, one week after suffering a heart attack. The ailing former strongman was rushed to the hospital last Sunday while under house arrest in connection with human rights charges during his 1973-1990 regime. An angioplasty cleared a blocked artery that same day, and hospital officials had said he appeared to be improving before they announced his death Sunday. Stable but slowly deteriorating, eh? |

| #2 Remember Pinochet fondly, because he smote the hell out of the Communists brought in by Allende to do to Chile what Castro had done to Cuba. And that ended the "domino theory" for South America that the Soviets had long tried to foment. |
