Default El Salvador marks Archbishop Oscar Romero's murder
"In every house they were listening to his homily. Ordinary people like workers, but also the authorities - the military, the president and members of parliament," says Carlos Ayala, a journalist who at the time was studying to become a priest.

In a country with almost no free press, Mr Ayala says, the broadcasts were "like a place to find out what was really going on."

Not related at all, but your article triggered a memory.

This picture:

Aid from a Padre Iconic Photos

Wasn't born yet when that coup d'etat happened, but that picture is part of the collective unconcious of most Venezuelans, it won the Pullitzer prize.

Wow, I hadn't seen that Norman Rockwell before. You know Rockwell captured much more than happy homes in middle class America. This is a great work that shows an America as real as the family at Thanksgiving. I wish I could thank Mr. Rockwell.

I'd also like to thank a brave photographer.

That picture is worth more than a thousand words.
