    #1: I think the photo in this article matches with others seen in the last week - Chávez' hair is back face is similar shape, he wears same sports outfit. What has been interesting is his decision to go to Cuba for the treatment, not stay in Caracas. Could be that part of the cheap oil deal with Cuba is medical attention for Chávez.
