“With Honduras,” declares Andrew Ian Dodge in the title of the 341st Carnival of the Vanities.
Honduras, like many nations in the Americas, has had frequent short-term governmental changes, though occasionally a strongman emerges. One of the stronger: Tiburcio Carías Andino, after being ousted the first time, managed to maintain control of the country for sixteen years, second only to Spanish corregidor Juan de Zuazo, whose 18-year rule ended 341 years ago, in 1668.
