Venezuela's Chavez Improving After Surgery

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is improving after surgery, according to Vice President Nicolas Maduro. Chavez - seen here departing Venezuela for surgery in Cuba two weeks ago - has not been heard from following a fourth operation for an unspecified cancer in the pelvic region. The government had said he suffered post-operatory complications including unexpected bleeding and a lung infection, but offered few details about his actual condition.
