Morales also mentions that he was told by Spanish Sec. of State, Bernardino Leon, that Spain would double aid to Bolivia if he won.

#7 Radio pranks are serious business in the Spanish-speaking world.
Just after Orson Welles' infamous "War of the Worlds" broadcast in 1939, a station in Quito Ecuador presented the same program in Spanish. It predictably set off a panic. Instead of calling the producer on the carpet and rebuking him in the newspapers, as happened in the US, the locals simply burned the station down.
