Viewed on 24 January, 2008.|"Two familiar figures in the novels of Colombian national treasure Gabriel García Márquez are the police chief and the mayor. And it has been a busy time for the real-life version of the characters in Colombia. Colombia's chief of police, General Teodoro Campo, has just resigned along with four other senior officers after revelations that they had been using an account meant for payments to informants to fund three years of lavish dinner parties, whiskey, and expensive chocolates. Echoes of García Márquez are everywhere in Cali. In one of his earlier books, An Evil Hour, someone keeps leaving notes bearing malicious gossip outside the doors of the inhabitants of a Colombian town. Though the book was published in 1968, the wicked habit its author described is still alive and well."
