My two favorite tributes to the late Hugo Chavez: here and here.
Both the NYT and the LAT are reporting arrests and confessions in the Bolshoi acid attack. (Previously.)
Investigators said that they believed that the dancer, Pavel Dmitrichenko, hired two men to accost Mr. Filin outside his apartment building late on Jan. 17. As Mr. Filin punched in an entry code, the police said, a masked man called his name and tossed the contents of a jar of sulfuric acid at his eyes.
The NYT says one of the men has confessed: the LAT says both men and Dmitrichenko have confessed.
“I organized the attack, but not to the extent of the damage that happened,” Dmitrichenko said, stone-faced, to Russian news Channel One. The dancer, who has performed such roles as the Evil Genius in Swan Lake and Russia’s brutal ruler Ivan Grozny in a ballet of the same name, planned the assault for “personal resentment related to his work,” police said, according to Russian media reports.
