From 'Morning Edition': Juan Forero speaks with Renee Montagne

Venezuelan Vice President Nicolás Maduro "controls the purse strings" and his opponents have been looking weak, NPR's Juan Forero .

So despite Tuesday's death of the controversial and charismatic President Hugo Chávez, it's likely there will be at least "six more years of what Chavez has called a revolution," Juan said, after Venezuelans go to the polls. That vote could come within the next 30 days � if the Latin American nation's leaders in follow the rules set down in the country's constitution.

There are, of course, morning-after stories about the death of Chávez, what it means and reaction to it, on many websites. Here's a sampling of headlines and links:
