Good afternoon. Wide World ofSports
is in the Republic of San Marcos
:00:21
where we're going to bring you
a live, on-the-spot assassination.
:00:24
They're going to kill the president
of this lovely country
:00:28
and replace him
with a military dictatorship.
:00:30
Everybody is about as excited
and tense as can be.
:00:33
The weather this afternoon is perfect
and, if you've just joined us,
:00:37
we've seen a series of colourful riots
:00:40
that started with the bombing
of the American Embassy,
:00:43
a ritual as old as the city itself.
:00:45
Then the leader of the Labour union,
Julio Doaz,
:00:49
was dragged from his home
and beaten by an angry mob.
:00:52
It was one of the most exciting
spectacles I've ever seen.
:00:55
We'll probably have a videotape
replay of that later on.
:00:58
All around, there are
colourful flags and hats.
:01:01
Now the moment we've been waiting for
is here. Everyone is getting quiet.
:01:06
The president will leave his office
and walk down the steps of the palace.
:01:10
For that, we're going down on the
playing area. Take it away, Howard.
:01:16
This is tremendous, Don, just tremendous.
:01:19
The atmosphere heavy,
uncertain, overtones of ugliness.
:01:23
A reminder, in a way, of how it was
in March of 1964 at Miami Beach
:01:28
when Clay met Liston for the first time
:01:30
and nobody was certain
how it would turn out.
:01:33
The crowd is tense.
They've been here since ten this morning.
:01:36
And... And I think I see...
the door beginning to open.
:01:41
EI presidente may be coming out.
:01:46
The door opens. It's he.
:01:49
It's EI presidente.
:01:57
He turns!
