Jon Lee Anderson's profile of Chávez, written two years into his presidency, examines who he is and where he seems headed. Before interviewing Chávez, Anderson interviewed his psychiatrist and visited the Simón Bolivar museum in Caracas. Chávez sees himself as a modern-day Bolívar who "wants to fulfill Bolívar's dream of a unified continent." (The New Yorker, Sept. 10, 2001)
