Pedro Joaquin Chamorro, publisher of La Prensa, Nicaragua's largest newspaper, holds up his hands as he talks to newsmen after his arrest in Managua, Jan. 26, 1967. In 1978, he was assassinated by an unknown gunman, supposedly on the orders of dictator Anastasio Somoza. His death helped spark the Nicaraguan revolution which toppled Somoza in July 1979.

A day after the 1990 election, Daniel Ortega (c) visited Violeta Chamorro (r) at her home to congratulate her after the surprise victory of her UNO coalition over the Sandinista Front.
