Ovando survives Bolivian army bid for power
Bolivian President Alfredo Ovando Candia appeared to weather a coup attempt as army chief of staff Rogelio Miranda led rebels to seize the palace. Ovando, back in La Paz from Santa Cruz, vowed to rule the nation's destiny while his loyal guards manned palace balconies with orders to shoot if needed. Three ministers met with Miranda as rebels warned Ovando to resign, but talks suggested surrender was near.
