Chavez conscious and recovering after cancer surgery in Cuba
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez remains conscious and progressively recovering more than a week after his cancer surgery in Cuba, according to Vice President Nicolas Maduro. Maduro said Chavez is receiving treatment for a respiratory infection and has been with his family as he fights for his life, noting the surgery was complicated. The remarks followed uncertainty sparked by a suggestion the Jan. 10 inauguration could be postponed, a matter Maduro said the Supreme Court could settle if needed. In other news, the Catholic Church moved toward sainthood for Pope Paul VI, with the Vatican stating he has been declared venerable, the first step toward beatification and canonization. Paul VI, who led Vatican II reforms, was pope from 1963 to 1978.
